2010 theft


On 20 May 2010, Vjeran Tomic broke into the museum and stole several paintings after meticulous preparation.[3] The museum reported the overnight theft of five paintings from its collection the following morning. The paintings taken were Le pigeon aux petits pois (Pigeon with Peas) by Pablo Picasso, La Pastorale by Henri Matisse, L'Olivier Près de l'Estaque (Olive Tree near L'Estaque) by Georges Braque, La Femme à l'Éventail [fr] (Woman with a Fan) by Amedeo Modigliani and Nature Morte aux Chandeliers (Still Life with Candlestick) by Fernand Léger and were valued at €100 million$123 million USD).[4][5] A window had been smashed and CCTV footage showed a masked man taking the paintings.[4] Authorities believe the thief acted alone.[6] The man carefully removed the paintings from their frames, which he left behind.[7]


The theft was investigated by the Brigade de Répression du Banditisme specialist unit of the French Police.[5] It is unclear why the alarm systems in the museum failed to detect the robbery, staff only noticing when they arrived at the museum just before 7:00 am.[5][8]


For fear that investigators were closing in on the thief, accomplices apparently destroyed the paintings.[9] "I threw them into the trash," cried Yonathan Birn, one of three people on trial in the case, "I made the worst mistake of my existence." However, neither the judge or other defendants believe Birn's. The authorities believe all of the paintings were removed from France. Birn's co-defendants testified he was "too smart" to destroy €100 million worth of artwork.[10] The French auctioneer and president of the Association du Palais de Tokyo [fr], Pierre Cornette de Saint-Cyr [fr], commented, "These five paintings are unsellable, so thieves, sirs, you are imbeciles, now return them."


The theft follows the $162 million heist of masterpieces by Cézanne, Degas, Van Gogh and Monet from Foundation E.G. Bührle in Zurich in February 2008 and could be one of the biggest art thefts in history (by value). It has been described as the "heist of the century".[6][11][12]
