Picasso Discoveries
One example of a discovery of a Picasso work is a cat sculpture found in the basement of none other than author Ernest Hemingway. In 1974, after the death of Picasso, Hemingway's first wife discovered a cracked cat sculpture, which was a gift from the artist to Hemingway. Picasso and Hemingway were friends in the 1920s in Paris, and Picasso gave the sculpture to Hemingway because he knew that he was fond of cats. Unfortunately, in 2000 the original was broken beyond repair by a thief and now a replica stands in his home in Key West, Florida.
