Besides being Nazi war plunder, "Le Repos Dans Le Jardin Argenteuil" also featured in a more recent scandal that rocked the art world in 2001 when crooked art dealer Michel Cohen Michel Cohen tried to sell it to two different buyers. Cohen, claiming he was acting on behalf of the Met, contacted European art dealer Jean-François Gobbi Jean-François Gobbi as well as Manhattan dealer Bill Beadelston Bill Beadelston to each put off millions of dollars in order to split the profit. Cohen disappeared in January 2001, having scammed an estimated $50 million to $100 million from many of the leading figures in the art world. (English)
