Did you know... that the French Government issued a postage stamp (pictured) bringing attention to the theft of Cézanne's The Card Players in 1961?

The most expensive picture on our planet

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2096051/Most-expensive-art-piece-sold-Qatar-buys-C-zannes-The-Card-Players-160m.html maybe someone can add that to the article --Historywriter (talk) 14:50, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's there already; I'll add it to the lead at some point if/when the report is confirmed and more widely publicized.--Chimino (talk) 22:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is false news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dulcesp (talk • contribs) 19:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly; I agree the article should not be changed to definitively locate the painting in Qatar based off what remains a single source of information.--Chimino (talk) 20:43, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See this [1], this [2], this [3], this [4] this [5] and this [6]...Modernist (talk) 21:42, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Modernist, but the issue is all stories point back to the initial Vanity Fair report, which even the NYT and at least one other of those sources state "if confirmed". I believe in the near future the world will know if indeed the purchase was real; from the reading, Qatar plans to roll out many of its treasures for public display, and we'll see if the Cézanne is with them.--Chimino (talk) 23:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)bahut bekar painting hai arab pagal ho gaya[reply]

Which version did the Qatar Royal Family buy? The article doesn't say. --RThompson82 (talk) 23:47, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one version which is privatized, so I think it is fairly obvious. -Chimino (talk) 00:30, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
