Picasso Painting at Four Seasons Stays Put for Now

A Pablo Picasso painting must remain at the entrance to New York’s Four Seasons restaurant pending more hearings into a preservationist group’s claim that the artwork would be severely damaged in a move, a judge said.

“Le Tricorne,” the 1919 painted stage curtain that has hung at the far end of the lobby since the restaurant opened in July 1959, will stay put for the time being, State Supreme Court Justice Carol Edmead ruled today during a hearing in Manhattan. She extended an order issued in February temporarily preventing its removal by the owners of the Seagram Building on Park Avenue.
