The painting belongs to casino magnate Steve Wynn, who has recently faced allegations of sexual misconduct dating back to the 1970s.
Le Marin was one of three paintings Wynn commissioned Christie's to sell. Another Picasso work Wynn owned, Femme au chat assise dans un fauteuil, was also pulled from sale, as reported by Bloomberg.
It's not the first time a Picasso owned by the mogul has been damaged. Wynn, who has an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa which affects his peripheral vision, accidentally put his elbow into Le Rêveback in 2006.
It was worth $139 million, before the damage.
