US-FRANCE-LEBANON-ART-CHARITY-PICASSO-FILES
(FILES)In an effort to raise money to save the ancient and historical city of Tyre, Lebanon, French TV host Peri Cochin teamed with Olivier Picasso, Pablo Picasso’s grandson , here posing with the painting entitled “L’Homme au Gibus” or “Man with Opera Hat” in New York in this December 3, 2013 file photo, to create a lottery like none before. The American who won a $1 million Picasso painting in an international raffle told AFP on December 19, 2013 that he celebrated with a dinner out on the town. Jeffrey Gonano, 25, a project manager with a fire sprinkler contracting company in Pittsburgh, said he couldn't believe it when the organizers telephoned him December 18, 2013 to say he had won. "I saw a news article online and I just happened to be looking for a piece of art for my house and I thought this would be interesting so I just bought a ticket for it," he said. The artist's grandson, Olivier Picasso, who helped drum up interest in the charity raffle, described the 1914 "Man in the Opera Hat" as a "masterpiece" of museum standard in perfect condition. Gonano said he didn't know what to do with the picture, but that he wanted to keep it. AFP PHOTO / TIMOTHY CLARY
