Pierre Le Guennec and his wife Danielle were found guilty last year of keeping 271 of Picasso’s drawings, collages and paintings in their garage for four decades. Now, appealing their conviction, Pierre told the court that “Mrs Jacqueline Picasso had problems with Claude Picasso” over the artist’s estate and stashed a bunch of paintings with the Le Guennecs, leaving one bag with the 271 works behind as a thank-you. (He didn’t mention this during his first trial because he was afraid, of course.) Claude’s attorney calls this “a staggering lie.”
