Pablo Picasso almost never stopped creating, ultimately producing thousands of drawings, paintings and sculptures that lure crowds to museums and mansions worldwide. Now a retired electrician says 271 of the master's creations have been sitting for decades in his garage.

Picasso's heirs are claiming theft, the art world is savoring what appears to be an authentic find, and the workman who installed burglar alarms for Picasso is defending what he calls a gift from the most renowned artist of the 20th century.

Picasso's son and other heirs say they were approached by electrician Pierre Le Guennec in September to authenticate the undocumented art from Picasso's signature Cubist period. (AP)
