A $29 million Pablo Picasso painting belonging to Spanish banker Jaime Botin and barrred from leaving Spain will arrive in Madrid on Tuesday after an attempt to export the artwork was blocked by French authorities.
“Head of a Young Woman” will be transported by Spain’s Guardia Civil in a special-purpose aircraft carrying officials from the country’s Ministry of Culture. The painting will be deposited at Madrid’s Museo Reina Sofia under judicial oversight until the case is resolved.
