BAGHDAD — Special forces have recovered a stolen Picasso and arrested a man planning to sell the painting during a raid of his house in southern Iraq, Iraqi police said Wednesday.
The painting, “The Naked Woman,” apparently had been among the artwork looted from the Museum of Kuwait during Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion, said police spokesman Maj. Muthana Khalid. Khalid said the man was trying to sell the painting for $450,000, but some Iraqi experts who saw the painting said it was worth $10 million.
