Picasso’s painting went unnoticed for almost 50 years 
Automatic translate
The painting on the glass “Sitting Woman in a Red Hat” (Mujer sentada con sombrero rojo), by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), donated to the Evansille Museum (Indiana, USA) back in 1963, was ignored by the museum staff, and spent almost 50 years in storage. According to local media, museum officials made a mistake in cataloging, and indicated as the author of the artist by the name of Gemmaux. It later turned out that the artist’s erroneous name was formed from “gemmail” - the glass that is used.
President of the museum’s board of trustees Stephen Kron said the find dating back to about 1954-1956 will be offered for sale at Guernse House in New York because of its high cost and the museum’s inability to provide the masterpiece with reliable protection and security. The approximate initial cost of the work was not disclosed, but, according to many experts, it may be a record for the work of Pablo Picasso.
