The stolen Picasso and the forest quest

Available for over a year

A few years ago, writer Mira Feticu received an anonymous letter with instructions on how to find a stolen Picasso, buried under a tree in a Romanian forest. The painting, the Tête d'Arlequin or Harlequin Head, had been stolen in 2012 from the Rotterdam's Kunsthal museum. Within days, Mira had found the spot where the artwork was supposed to be hidden. But a shock was in store.   Presenter: Jo Fidgen. Producer: Fiona Woods. Picture: Pablo Picasso's Harlequin Head. Credit: The Triton Collection Foundation.
