Picasso Artwork Stolen From Art Basel

A Picasso piece valued at $85,000 was stolen from Miami's Art Basel between Thursday night and Friday morning. The plate, titled Visage Aux Man (Face and Hands) was created by the famed artist in 1956 and part of a 20 plate set.

Police say there are no witnesses or video surveillance.

    1. LOL! Right?!
      Has to be a reason there was no surveillance because where does an unsurveilled place exist?

  3. No security or video surveillance, that's always a good idea. /sarcasm

  4. How can there be no surveillance there with all that expensive art? Or no tracking mechanism on the piece. I bet there is, and this story was released so the thieves think they got away with it and get sloppy, while they are being tracked and hunted down.

  5. Inside job likely, security and venue in cahoots.

  6. Let's see...Usher charges a phone with a twat. Diddy gets in a fight with Drake. Leo, looking like a fat homeless man, takes 20 models home (along with Greasy Bear). Art Basel sounds classy.

    How did a modern art exhibit degenerate into such carryings-on with such trashy people?

    2. Just like every other event these days. I like how Robert Redford doesn't want these trashy people (Paris Hilton) at Sundance.

    4. @auntliddy Oh, yes, I forgot to mention the Picasso!

      I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at Art Basel given the sort of people who get front row seats these days at fashion week.

  7. This sounds like an old episode on the TV series, Las Vegas:

    A necklace with a priceless gemstone, the "Star of Kashmir", is on show at the Montecito. Monica decides that it is not to be protected by bulletproof glass, since it's too beautiful. Monica shuts down the security system to secretly try on the sapphire, but when the cameras are turned on afterwards the sapphire is gone. Danny and Mike try to find the sapphire before showtime, while Ed still doesn't want to come back. Meanwhile, magician Criss Angel roams the casino floor doing magic tricks.

  8. Leo probably smuggled it out in his beard, or in the purse of one of the 20 women he left with.

  9. Still dont get why people pay thousands for his 'art'. Looks like a cheap silver plate with a smiley face on it but because 'Picasso' made it,it is a work of 'art'. LMAO! My dog's poop is more artistic.

    1. I agree. I've seen some of his stuff that I like but I don't get the extreme hype either. I'd rather have a Monet, Chagall or definitely a Kahlo. Picasso doesn't do it for me at all.

    2. @min, I love Chagall. I have one piece of real art and its a Chagall that I hung in my bedroom. It's beautiful and I look at it everyday.
