Art, including Picasso, worth 1/2 million dollars found at ex-sommelier’s home

16/07/2011 by Ellen Wallace

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Police in New Jersey in the US have found 11 stolen artworks, including a Picaosso etching, in a Hoboken apartment. The man who has the apartment was already being held in California on $5 million bail after he was charged with stealing “Tête de Femme (Head of a Woman),” a 1965 pencil drawing by Picasso. The San Francisco Gate reports that the man is accused of stealing the art from several hotels and museums during a three-week spree that ended 6 July.

He is a former sommelier, says the news service, who is also accused of having stolen three bottles of wine in June, worth  $6,000.
