Настоящую картину Пабло Пикассо «Отдых» 1932 года в понедельник 14 мая Сью Гросс продала на Sotheby’s за $36,9 млн

At the end of 2016-го, after 31 years of marriage, sue gross has filed for divorce. Since then, the couple divided marital property. When in August 2017 it came to Pablo Picasso's painting "Rest (Le Repos)" in 1932, for many years hung in their bedroom, bill gross has offered to flip a coin to decide her fate. Won sue, but when the bill was going to give instructions about sending pictures to her home, the ex-wife blindsided him with the assurance that there's no need: the original for about six months is it, and on the wall in the bedroom of the former spouses all these months was a copy of her own production.

Angry bill gross said that she "stole the damn work", and tried to begin legal proceedings. But not here-то was: lawyers ex-husband sue presented a letter from bill in which he gave her every right "to take any furniture and art that she wants". The logical question to lawyers, why then she left a space on the wall empty, and hung there for a fake, sue replied that it was not fake, and she painted a copy. She can't remember exactly, was it signed "Picasso" or "sue gross". But, according to defendant, bill gross knew of the existence of copies. He boasted in one letter cited as evidence of sue's artistic abilities. So seize Picasso's bill gross has failed. Painting "the Rest" of 1932, which depicts Picasso's mistress Marie-Терез Voltaire, was successfully sold for $36.9 million, which is 4.5 times higher than the price for which it bought in 2000-м.
