ART

Stolen Matisse Works Found: Eight stolen works by the French artist Henri Matisse were recovered Tuesday when police in Nice, France, pulled over a man for a routine check and found the art rolled up on the back seat of his car, police sources said. Franck Cochet, 24, was held for questioning in the theft of the five oil paintings, two drawings and one engraving, which were valued at $12.5 million. They were reported missing Dec. 29. The works, including the well-known paintings “View Over Collioure Port,” “Woman in Brittany” and “Devilacqua,” were taken from the empty apartment in Nice’s posh Cimiez district in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean where Matisse lived until his death in 1954.
