response to StayClassyEvansville2010:  Is there anyway the
museum could display it for a short time?  If not, I hope the
auction brings in enough money for the museum to continue its
expansion. But something tells me a greedy relative is going to
turn up and all the money will get used up in court proceedings.
While I am not a lawyer, it is my understanding that work was
given to the museum without any stipulations and without any
"potential liens". No one has a claim to the work.  Picasso's
work is often quite amazing. I have had the opportunity to do
repair work on a number of his works here in my studio. They
were part of a musuem collection from Los Angeles and had been
broken in transit. When I was still teaching, I brought my
advanced students by so they could take a firat hand, close up
look at this master's work. Unlike his paintings, the works I
repaired and restored were not in the millions of dollar range
but more in the 25-35k range.
