The mystery of what will happen to Picasso’s 1931 plaster bust of his mistress and muse Marie-Thérèse Walter after the Museum of Modern Art’s blockbuster show closes on Sunday has been temporarily resolved.

The two parties disputing the sculpture’s ownership — the dealer Larry Gagosian and a representative of the Qatar royal family — have agreed that the statue will go to the Gagosian Gallery until the conflict is adjudicated.
