They were worth about 100 million. Picassos former electrician claims they were a gift from the artist and his wife. Whats more, he claims theyd been in his garage for the past Bill Whitaker has a look for 60 minutes. Reporter danielle and pierre liganec are a retired couple living in the south of france. Back in 1971 he was an electrician hired by Pablo Picasso and his wife jacqueline to fix their americanmade stove. The picassos were so pleased they had him do other odd jobs on their properties, including installing burglar alarms. How would you describe the re or did you have a friendship . Translator i believe that monsieur had total trust in me, particularly because of my discretion. Reporter his discretion might be the only thing in this tale that isnt in dispute. As family electrician and handyman, pierre leganec had the run of picassos houses for 15 years starting before and stretching beyond the artists death in 1973. Says, Jacqueline Picasso surprised him. Translator madam called me into the hallway and said, come here, this is for you. And she handed me a box. I said, thank you, madam. I left and brought it back here. Reporter the leganecs say they opened the box and werent impressed. They described the contents as two picasso sketch books and sheets of looseleaf paper, all unsigned. Of drawings that were repeated. For example, there was the body of a horse without the head. And the second part was only the head. Reporter danielle leganec says in general shes not a big fan of picassos art. Translator that painting i dont know if the character is looking at me, not looking at me. The head is upside down. Its on the side. Thats what made him famous. Im not saying its ugly. This box of paintings and sketches and things you received . Translator if someone would have told me, monsieur leganec, go and throw this in the fire, i would have thrown it in the fire. Reporter instead of burning the box, pierre leganec says it ended up on a shelf in his garage. It lived there undisturbed until 2010, when he says he was ill and facing surgery. Thats when he thought he should get his affairs and wondered if that picasso gift might be worth something. So he contacted the Picasso Administration, run by Pablo Picassos son and described by handwritten letters and photos what he had. The Picasso Administration is the only place in the world that can certify the artists work. Leganec wanted his box of picassos work authenticated. Translator they answered me by telling me that Claude Picasso wanted to see with his so we went up to paris, my wife and i, by train with a suitcase. Full of artwork. Translator yes. I organized them properly in cardboard folders so it could be presentable. How were you greeted by claude . Translator he was a little bit haughty. Impolite. Translator hes a monsieur, and we are little people. He didnt even say hello. Little people. Translator he looked at me and said, one cannot say we were welcomed. Thats not very polite, considering hes the son of a genius. Kind of snobbish, you say. Translator yes. Translator yes, snob. Translator a man represents wealth. Reporter but Claude Picasso himself, the artists third child and one of five living heirs, remembers the meeting differently. I start, you know, asking things by my fire. Then later on in the conversation they said some of them were given to them by my fathers widow. Reporter the stash contained works spanning more than 30 years, from 1900 to 1932. Some were preliminary sketches of wellknown works displayed in museums and galleries around the world. Like this one from 1932. Woman seated in red armchair. At the Musee Picasso in paris. The similarity is st and then theres this one. A neverbeforeseen portrait of olga picassos first wife and constant subject for nearly 20 years. Included in the 271 works were six sketches, 28 lithographs, and nine cubist collages, considered museum quality. There were also those two full sketch pads with 81 drawings. An art trove later valued at as much as 100 million. Le guennecs. The explanations were a bit murky. But i quickly understood that they must have stolen them. Did you know immediately that they were real . Yes, but i didnt tell him that. You didnt want to give anything away. I couldnt because it was so amazing. And they kept pulling out things more and more. So i said is that all . And they said no, no, no, we have some more here. Okay, thats incredible. But i didnt say you didnt reveal anything on your face. I like it. Whatever. Some banality like this. And i had to let them go because theres no system that can make me clamp down on these possessions. You couldnt seize them. No, no. So you had to let them go. You have to let them go. I knew what i had to do next. Call the police. Three weeks later the gendarmes were at the le guennec door. They seized the works and they seized the couple. Translator we were taken into custody to nice, my wife in one car and i in another, and i was held there for two days. I spent one day in jail. I was devastated. So devastated that ive been seeing a psychiatrist. I am not over it. I can still use this language, it didnt just smell bad. It stank. You dont believe they were kept in their garage for 40 years . No. Reporter jean jacques nurier and claudia andrieu, lawyers representing the Picasso Administration, say the condition of the art is too pristine to have been kept on a shelf in a garage for almost 40 years. They dont buy any part of the le guennecs story. Why not . Its a nonsense. And to be very frank with you, believe that mr. Le guennec is a swindler. Reporter the le guennecs say theyre honest people caught in a david and goliath battle with the picasso heirs, snooty art moguls who cant handle the idea that a modest family might be worthy of the artists gift. Translator we are simple people. We love our home and our ga they say you folks were a little snobbish and perhaps looking down on them because theyre just little people, simple people, they called themselves. They play on that. Its pure manipulation. Its fantastic. You dont believe that they are simple people . They are simple people. This is the problem. We believe that they play on this to try to obtain sympathy from the public. Reporter the Family Lawyers to describe the works, which they say could only have come from an art expert. But the retired electrician denies the accusation. He says he wrote every word himself. These works by picasso were deemed so valuable they immediately were seized and brought here for safekeeping, one of the most secure places in the country, the bank of france. This is the fort knox of france, the countrys gold reserves are in february 2015 the le guennecs went on trial. There wasnt enough evidence to prove they stole the art. So prosecutors charged them with possessing stolen property. Witnesses who knew Pablo Picasso and his wife, jacqueline, testified it was impossible anyone would get such a generous gift from the master. The le guennecs were given a twoyear suspended sentence for possession of stolen property. Box of picassos artwork would this past summer the National Parks service celebrated its 100th anniversary.

The art world was stunned six years ago when a treasure trove of 276 neverbeforeseen picassos turned up. They were worth about 100 million. Picassos former electrician claims they were a gift from the artist and his wife. Whats more, he claims theyd been in his garage for the past 40 years. Bill whitaker has a look for 60 minutes. Reporter danielle and Pierre Le Guennec are a retired couple living in the south of france. Back in 1971 he was an electrician hired by Pablo Picasso and his wife jacqueline to fix their americanmade stove. The picassos were so pleased they had him do other odd jobs on their properties, including installing burglar alarms. How would you describe the relationship . Was it employeeemployer . Translator i believe that monsieur had total trust in me, particularly because of my discretion. Reporter his discretion might be the only thing in this tale that isnt in dispute. As family electrician and handyman, Pierre Le Guennec had the run of picassos houses for 15 years starting before and stretching beyond the artists death in 1973. One day in the early 1970s, he translator madam called me into the hallway and said, come here, this is for you. And she handed me a box. I said, thank you, madam. I left and brought it back here. Reporter the le guennecs say they opened the box and werent impressed. They described the contents as two picasso sketch books and sheets of looseleaf paper, all unsigned. Translator there were plenty of drawings that were repeated. For example, there was the body of a horse without the head. And the second part was only the head. Reporter Danielle Le Guennec says in general shes not a big fan of picassos art. Translator that painting i dont know if the character is looking at me, not looking at me. The head is upside down. Its on the side. Thats what made him famous. Im not saying its ugly. Sketches and things you received . Translator if someone would have told me, monsieur le guennec, go and throw this in the fire, i would have thrown it in the fire. Reporter instead of burning the box, Pierre Le Guennec says it ended up on a shelf in his garage. It lived there undisturbed until 2010, when he says he was ill and facing surgery. Thats when he thought he should get his affairs in order. And wondered if that picasso gift might be worth something. So he contacted the Picasso Administration, run by Pablo Picassos son and described by handwritten letters and photos what he had. The Picasso Administration is the only place in the world that can certify the artists work. Le guennec wanted his box of picassos work authenticated. Translator they answered me by telling me that Claude Picasso wanted to see with his own eyes what it was we had. So we went up to paris, my wife and i, by train with a suitcase. Full of artwork. Translator yes. I organized them properly in cardboard folders so it could be presentable. How were you greeted by claude . Translator he was a bit haughty. Translator impolite. Translator hes a monsieur, and we are little people. Translator he didnt even say hello. Little people. Translator he looked at me and said, you. One cannot say we were welcomed. Thats not very polite, considering hes the son of a genius. Kind of snobbish, you say. Translator yes. Translator yes, snob. Translator a man represents wealth. Reporter but Claude Picasso himself, the artists third child and one of five living heirs, remembers the meeting differently. I start, you know, asking questions and so on. Things by my father. Then later on in the conversation they said some of them were given to them by my fathers widow. Reporter the stash contained works spanning more than 30 years, from 1900 to 1932. Some were preliminary sketches of wellknown works displayed in museums and galleries around the world. Like this one from 1932. Woman seated in red armchair. At the Musee Picasso in paris. The similarity is striking. And t a neverbeforeseen portrait of olga, picassos first wife and constant subject for nearly 20 years. Included in the 271 works were six sketches, 28 lithographs, and nine cubist collages, considered museum quality. There were also those two full sketch pads with 81 drawings. An art trove later valued at as much as 100 million. Claude picasso could not believe le guennecs. The explanations were a bit murky. But i quickly understood that they must have stolen them. Did you know immediately that they were real . Yes, but i didnt tell him that. You didnt want to give anything away. I couldnt because it was so amazing. And they kept pulling out things more and more. So i said is that all . And they said no, no, no, we have some more here. Okay, thats incredible. But i didnt say you didnt reveal anything on your face. I like it. Whatever. Some banality like this. And i had to let them go because theres no system that can make me clamp down on these possessions. You couldnt seize them. No, no. So you had to let them go. You have to let them go. I knew what i had to do next. Call the police. Yes. Reporter the police opened were at the le guennec door. They seized the works and they seized the couple. Translator we were taken into custody to nice, my wife in one car and i in another, and i was held there for two days. I spent one day in jail. I was devastated. So devastated that ive been seeing a psychiatrist. I am not over it. I can still see that jail ll use this language, it didnt just smell bad. I stank. You dont believe they were kept in their garage for 40 years . No. Reporter jean jacques nurier and claudia andrieu, lawyers representing the Picasso Administration, say the condition of the art is too pristine to have been kept on a shelf in a garage for almost 40 years. They dont buy any part of the le guennecs story. Why not . Its impossible. Its a nonsense. And to be very frank with you, believe that mr. Le guennec is a swindler. Reporter the le guennecs say theyre honest people caught in a david and goliath battle with the picasso heirs, snooty art moguls who cant handle the idea that a modest family might be worthy of the artists gift. Translator we are simple people. We love our home and our garden. Weve never traveled. Little snobbish and perhaps looking down on them because theyre just little people, simple people, they called themselves. They play on that. Its pure manipulation. Its fantastic. You dont believe that they are simple people . They are simple people. This is the problem. We believe that they play on this to try to obtain sympathy from the public. Reporter the Family Lawyers language Pierre Le Guennec used to describe the works, which they say could only have come from an art expert. But the retired electrician denies the accusation. He says he wrote every word himself. These works by picasso were deemed so valuable they immediately were seized and brought here for safekeeping, one of the most secure places in the country, the bank of france. This is the fort knox of france, the countrys gold reserves are kept here too. In february 2015 the le guennecs went on trial. There wasnt enough evidence to prove they stole the art. So prosecutors charged them with possessing stolen property. Witnesses who knew Pablo Picasso and his wife, jacqueline, testified it was impossible anyone would get such a generous gift from the master. The le guennecs were given a twoyear suspended sentence for possession of stolen property. They are appealing.
