Showed Pierre Le Guennec, an electrician 71 years) before, and his many acts of his son, Claude Picasso and other property managers in Paris in September, seeking to make the authentication works Picasso Administration lawyer, Jean-Jacques Neuer.
Shortly after that meeting, the Nuer suit on behalf of the heirs of Picasso’s receipt of the alleged illegal business. Police investigators are looking at how if Guennec and his wife Danielle, came through the images.
This was a gift, “said Daniel Le Guennec The Associated Press by telephone from her home in the town of Moi SARTOUX, near the tourist hotspot of Riviera Antibes.” We are not thieves. We did not do anything wrong. ”
She and the couple decided to come forward with the work this year because they were getting in years, and “I do not want to leave any headaches for our children” with their own company. She said her husband had undergone a process for the treatment of cancer in March
Did not work, which has been retained in the Fund, does not seem that there is much to the untrained eye, and said: “But even if that small atom of a pencil, did not come from the master”
These are not images, such as those sold in the United States. ”
The Claude Picasso, quoted in Liberation, which was known for his generosity and his father – but this is always dedicated, dated and signed by his gifts, as he knew that some beneficiaries may try to sell the business one day.
To abandon such a large amount, this is unheard of. Does not hold up, “the newspaper quoted Claude Picasso in the liberation of saying,” This was part of his life. ”
