Will Picasso Feed the Market?

June 30, 2009 by Marion Maneker

British gossip columnist Ephraim Hardcastle gives a sketchy report about Andrew Lloyd-Weber’s disputed Picasso:

Lord Lloyd-Webber is poised to finally be allowed to sell his Blue Period Picasso portrait of the artist’s friend Angel Fernandez de Soto, which the composer bought for £18million in 1995. It was withdrawn from an auction at Christie’s in 2006 following accusations it was Nazi war loot and has been the subject of a High Court battle ever since.

Anyone have better information?
