This morning (7), two men stole eight engravings by Henri Matisse and five by Cândido Portinari from an exhibition at the Mário de Andrade Library.
The crime was confirmed by the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy, which reported the attack on the exhibition “From book to museum: MAM São Paulo and the Mário de Andrade Library”, held in partnership with the Museum of Modern Art (MAM).
The site, which is subject to inspection by the Civil Police, has a surveillance team and a security camera system.
The secretariat informed that all material that could be used in the investigation is being provided to the police authorities, and that the works on display have a current insurance policy.
