>> reporter: his discretion might be the only thing in this tale that isn't in dispute. as family electrician and handyman, pierre had the run of picasso's houses for 15 years, starting before and stretching beyond the artist's death in 1973. one day in the early 1970s, he says, she surprised him. madam called me into the hallway and said scum here. this is for you. she handed me a box. i said thank you, madame. >> the couple says they opened the box and weren't impressed. they described the contents as two picasso sketch books and sheets of loose leaf paper all unsigned. >> there were plenty of drawings that were repeated. for example, there was the body of a horse without the head. and the second part was, only a head. >> danielle says in general she

can certify the artist's work. he wanted his box of art authenticated. >> translator: they answered me by telling me that claude picasso wanted to seep with his own eyes what it was we had. and he gave us an appointment. so we went up to paris, my wife and i, by train with a suitcase. >> full of art work? >> yes. i organized them, properly and folders so it could be presentable. >> how were you greeted by claude? >> he was a bit haughty. >> impolite. >> he is a -- we are little people. >> he did not say hello. >> he looked at me and said, you, you can sit over there. one cannot say we were welcomed. that's not very polite. considering he is the son of a genius. >> kind of snobbish you say? >> yes. >> yes, snob.
