In its removal from its place of 55 years at The Four Seasons restaurant, the 95 year-old “Le Tricorne,” a 19-by-20-foot stage curtain painted by Pablo Picasso, did not suffer a single tear. When it was rolled up on the tube, some workers rubbed it as though it were an ancient scroll and it left the Seagrams Building without ever touching the ground. After its restoration it will be on display at The New York Historical Society.
