Two suspects were arrested in Sao Paulo for the theft of two uninsured paintings, a Picasso and a Portinari, with an estimated combined worth of $55 million. The works were stolen from the Sao Paulo Museum of Art (arguably the most important art museum in Latin America) on January 5th and were found unharmed in a home located in the outskirts of Sao Paulo. The MASP has been closed since the works were stolen.
