271 Picasso paintings discovered in Paris. As a retired odd job man and
electrician, Pierre Le Guennec is the unlikeliest of art collectors to
be discovered with a haul of 271 unknown works by Picasso.It is perhaps
why the French police arrested the 71-year-old when they discovered the
cache of sketches and paintings worth £50m at his Riviera home.Mr Le
Guennec claims that he was given the collection by the artist when he
carried out odd jobs for him at his Côte d’Azur home 40 years
ago.However, Picasso’s son, Claude, suspects that the works were stolen.
Matt Stokes, Cantata Profana, 2010 .In his works, many of which are film or event-based, the British artist
Matt Stokes (born in Penzance, England, in 1973) deals with subcultures.
In meticulous research, he explores the origins of music scenes and
groups, investigating the local development of, say, the folk movement
in Camden and Newcastle, Northern Soul in Dundee, and punk rock in
Austin, Texas. Stokes is interested in the way in which music creates a
collective feeling, serving as a catalyst for certain groups to form,
and shaping and influencing people’s lives and identities. From his long-term research,
in which he collects impressions, stories, and materials, he creates
films, installations, musical works and events which develop their own
conceptual and aesthetic life.
