Miros withdrawn in London
February 5 2014
Picture: Guardian
There's been a hoo-ha over a cache of Miro pictures being sold by the Portuguese government. The pictures were nationalised when the Portuguese bank BPN was bailed out in 2008. The state wanted to sell the pictures to get some of its money back, up to £29m apparently. But after protests in Portugal, Christie's withdrew the pictures last night. More here.
