U.S. Special Forces Recover Stolen Picasso


Although there are doubts as to its authenticity, the U.S. Special Forces have recovered what appears to be a stolen Picasso painting.

According to the Boston Globe,

The painting has a tag on the back with several misspellings that says it was sold by “the louvre” to “the museum of kuwait,” with the words Louvre and Kuwait in lower case. There are also several stamps bearing the name of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

However,

…an official with the Louvre Museum said it has never had a Picasso in its collection and does not sell its works because they are government property. The official spoke on condition of anonymity according to museum policy.
