Quote du jour: Sirs, you are imbeciles
“These five paintings are unsellable, so thieves, sirs, you are imbeciles. Now return them.”
—Pierre Cornette de Saint-Cyr, director of the neighboring Palais de Tokyo
How so French! And appropriate for the stolen Picasso & Matisse. Five paintings worth over $100 million from the Paris Museum of Modern Art swiped even though the museum had reported problems with its alarm system two months ago. Seriously? Something worth looking into perhaps?
But Monsieur de Saint-Cyr is right. You can’t do anything with them except hanging them in your house. I personally would and happily.
