Liege May Sell Picasso: The debt-ridden city of Liege, Belgium, is considering the sale of a Picasso masterpiece to keep its museums open. “Either we sell this Picasso or we have to close a dozen museums for lack of funds,” culture alderman Hector Magotte told the daily newspaper Het Belang van Limburg. The city council hopes to make $57 million from the sale of the 1903 painting of the Soler family, a masterpiece of Picasso’s “Blue Period.” The council will make a decision on the sale next month.
