Quoting France Press APA reports, Pissaro’s work was stolen together with the Auguste Renoir’s “Woman Portrait”. Investigation clarified that well-known art thief Emil Gelton stole them. The fate of both paintings has been remained unknown for 22 years. In 2003 Sotheby’s expert called to the Aix-les-Bains museum and told about probable place of Pissaro’s “The Fish market”. French museum demanded US law-enforcement bodies to investigate this issue. The work place was determined and later it was detained in the New York custom house. Legal proceedings on the stolen art will be started on March 16. Sharyl Davis, who says she bought “The Fish Market” from a US dealer, will also be testified. The work will be given back to the museum, if the court receives complaints of French side. According to some sources, Renoir’s stolen work is in one of the Japanese collections, but this information has not been confirmed yet.
