Pablo Picasso: a treasure trove of unseen works

Pierre Le Guennec, who once worked for Pablo Picasso (pictured), and his wife squirrelled away the staggering trove, which is believed to be authentic, inside a trunk in the garage of their home on the French Riviera. The cache, dating from the artist's most creative period from 1900 to 1932, includes lithographs, portraits, watercolours, and sketches, plus nine Cubist collages said to be worth €40m alone
