Picasso painting stolen from Greek gallery


A Picasso painting, given to the Athens National Gallery by the artist himself, was stolen on Monday along with two other valuable works of art.

Picasso's Woman's Head was given to Greece in 1949 in recognition of the country's resistance to Nazi Germany.

In a statement, police said a Mondrian painting and a sketch by Italian artist Guglielmo Caccia had also been stolen.
