Philippines wants Monet
Print Edition
The Philippines aims to recover three paintings, including one by French Impressionist Claude Monet, that a former aide of Imelda Marcos has been jailed in the United States for trying to sell.
Vilma Bautista, 75, a one-time secretary to the former first lady, was on Monday sentenced to six years in a New York prison for a scheme to sell art that once belonged to Imelda. Among the pieces that Bautista sold was “Le Bassin aux Nympheas” by Monet, from his famed water-lily series, that netted US$32 million.
That one can’t be recovered but the Philippines is determined to get back three unsold paintings that Bautista had in her possession, including another Monet.
“We want the three paintings back,” the Presidential Commission on Good Government said.
