Court Fines Art Thief For Damaging Matisse
A burglar who broke into the former apartment of Henri Matisse and damaged multiple paintings was fined 1.6 million and given a three year suspended sentence by the Nice Correctional Tribunal. Cochet, 24, sealed the building December 22 and broke in through fourth floor shutters, with police recovering the damaged works in his car two weeks later. Restorers say most works need repair. Pink Nude’s value rose from 4.3 million to 1.2 million after damage. He is unlikely to pay the fine to Matisse heirs.
