Missing Joan Miro painting found by Spanish police at auction in London

The missing painting of the work of Joan Miro during the transfer was discovered by the Spanish police at an auction in London. This was announced on September 7 by the press service of the Spanish National Police. The painting by the Catalan artist Joan Miro from the Gaudi series disappeared in July of this year during its transfer to the buyer. Miro's work was acquired from a Spanish collector by a resident of London. The new owner never got the picture, as reported to the transport police. Police officers conducted an investigation and found out that the canvas was mistakenly delivered to another address. But the person who mistakenly received the painting insisted that he sent it back to Spain. As a result, police found the work of a Spanish artist at an auction in London. The preliminary cost of the painting was ten thousand euros. The auction house was immediately informed that the painting put up for auction is listed in the international database as a stolen work of art. After that, the picture was removed from the auction and sent to the rightful owner. Earlier, the news agency reported the theft of a painting by Frans Hals from a museum in the Netherlands.
