Le Met autorisé à garder une œuvre de Picasso vendue par un Juif
fuyant la Shoah

JTA*

Un tableau de Picasso vendu l’équivalent de 10 000 euros par un homme d’affaires juif-allemand alors qu’il fuyait les nazis pourra rester entre les murs du Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, a jugé un tribunal.
Ce dernier a rejeté l’appel de l’arrière petite-nièce de Paul Leffmann, statuant que sa famille avait attendu trop longtemps pour demander à récupérer « L’Acteur » de Picasso.
Il serait injuste de forcer le Met à le céder, a estimé mercredi le tribunal situé à Manhattan, d’après Reuters.
Le tableau vaudrait près de 100 millions de dollars.
