Paul Cézanne’s “Fruit and Jug

NEW YORK.- The FBI announced last night that as a result of an Art Loss Register (ALR) recovery, they have arrested Robert Mardirosian, the lawyer who tried to sell £20 million of stolen pictures. If convicted Mardirosian, aged 72, could face up to 10 years in prison. Police are searching for his son Marc after finding three unlicensed firearms and drugs including cocaine at their house. In 1978 seven pictures including Paul Cézanne’s “Fruit and Jug” and two Chaim Soutines were stolen from the house of the collector Michael Bakwin in Massachusetts. (courtesy www.Artdaily.org)
