859: Army of Conquest
United Nations, Picasso's Guernica and Samantha Power
A replica of Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" was spotted in the background of a UN Security Council broadcast featuring Ambassador Samantha Power. The painting, which depicts the horrors of war, was famously covered up in 2003 during Colin Powell's presentation regarding the Iraq War. The presence of the artwork in the UN hallway has raised questions about its ownership and why it was not returned to Spain as previously reported.
