<p>Pablo Picasso was one of the most renowned artists of the 20th century and his paintings are considered modern classics by almost every art enthusiast in the world. &nbsp;Over the years, Picasso’s work has adorned the walls of a number of famous art galleries, and they have also fetched huge sums of money from the buyers. However, it is also one of the most smuggled art items in the world and Spain’s customs office seized a Picasso sketch worth more than €450,000 at the Ibiza Airport. In the official statement, they said that the 1966 sketch known as “Trois Personnages” was found in possession of a man who was carrying it in his suitcase while travelling from Zurich in Switzerland.</p>
