Two paintings by Picasso, worthy $66 million were stolen by some professionals. The left oil, “Portrait of Jacqueline”, was done in 1961 and it is a vivid Cubist work of of Picasso's second wife, Jacqueline Rogue.
Once again, the theft raised the question: who should own and make profit from the great work of these great artists who have passed way? The whole society or their descendants?
