Nation’s Largest Picasso Painting At Center Of Lawsuit Involving NYC Eatery

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – New York’s storied Four Seasons restaurant has for decades harbored one of the city’s more unusual artworks: the largest Pablo Picasso painting in the United States.

A plan to move it, however, has touched off a spat as sharply drawn as the bullfight crowd the canvas depicts.

Pitting a prominent preservation group against an art-loving real estate magnate, the dispute has unleashed an outcry from culture commentators and a lawsuit featuring dueling squads of art experts.

If countless artifacts can be preserved for centuries, even millennia, then I think a curtain can be safely taken down and safely stored until the wall behind it is repaired. Snobs gonna snob.
