According to the LA Times, authorities recovered a collection of art pieces that included works by Picasso, Botero and Spanish sculptor Eduardo Chillida and which was stolen from a Madrid warehouse last month.
Apoparently the art was found in a stolen truck in an industrial area on Madrid's southern outskirts.
The pieces, recovered Saturday, had a total value of about $6.5 million, according to the article.
No arrests have been made so far.
According to the BBC, New York police are looking for a thief who tunnelled into an apartment last month and stole works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and others.
The thief apparently broke through a hallway wall between November 24 and 28 while the owner was away and took art and other items worth $750,000.
Among prints taken were Lichtenstein's Thinking Nude and Moonscape, and Warhol's The Truck and Superman.
According to the Associated Press, the Center of Olfactory Art dedicated to scent as an art form was launched at the Museum of Arts and Design last Thursday.
The museum director stated that the new center was created because "scent is a really interesting part of the world of design," and adding that the Center of Olfactory Art is a "sensuous, sensory-orientated museum" where patrons can touch and feel many of the objects.
According to the article, the center will present its first exhibition, "The Art of Scent, 1889-2011" next November, examining the reformulation and innovation of olfactory works by some of history's best-known perfumers through 10 seminal scents.
Here is a great article from the New York Times about Art Basel Miami.
The Times summed up the seminal event this way:
"Four days and a small sliver of mostly man-made beachfront can barely accommodate the hordes of dealers, collectors, artists, designers, photographers, journalists and hangers-on that descend en masse for a quick pre-holiday sun and high-ticket spending."
A great set of photos published by the Times can be found here.
