Police believe the man broke into the gallery in the middle of the night May 22 by breaking a glass by the rear courtyard door. He took two framed Picasso etchings, ”Jacqueline Lisant” and ”Le Repas Frugel”, valued at $145,000 and $395,000.

He then tried to sell one of the paintings to a California art dealer, authorities said.

The owner of the Gallery Biba got a call from the California art dealer about an offer to purchase Le Repas Frugel. When the dealer checked the Art Loss Registry, she found that it was stolen.

The Suspect shipped her the painting.

The California art dealer told police said she had previously purchased another painting from the suspect which was stolen from a gallery in Washington D.C.
