Stolen painting to return to France

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn file papers to return Picasso’s 1911 La Coiffeuse (The Hairdresser) to France, where it was stolen from a Paris museum storage room in 2001. The 100 year -old painting was shipped by Federal Express from Belgium to the U.S. in December  in a package that described it as a $37 “art craft,” and seized at the Port of Newark. Officials said shipper was identified only as “Robert” and the destination was a climate-controlled storage facility in Queens. Lynch:
