A (posthumous) MEMO TO PICASSO

  • A (posthumous) MEMO TO PICASSO

  • In Art, it's true,  being a nice guy
  • is not what  causes others to buy.
  • Yet ,  even if  you are a great Cubist,
  • don't forget that  others must  exist. 

  • While no one expects you to be a saint ,
  •  torturing those close only works well  in paint.

    The granddaughter of legendary Spanish artist Pablo Picasso is selling off a selection of his art work, as well as his famous French villa, for an expected $290million.
    Marina Picasso, who has famously spoken of Picasso being incredibly cold and distant from herself and her brother when they were children, has put at least seven pieces of art up for grabs.
    The offering includes a 1921 painting called 'Maternite' for $50m (£35m), his 1911 'Femme a la Mandoline' for $60m (£40m), and a 1923 portrait of his first wife Olga Khokhlova for $60m (£40m).

    She is selling the artwork to the clients personally and will meet with prospective buyers in Geneva, according to the The New York Post.
    Also offered for sale is her grandfather's estate in Cannes, France, the paper reported.
    Called 'La Californie', he lived at the villa with his second wife Jacqueline Roque, who shot herself aged 59 following his death.
    It was at La Californie that she and her brother used to visit the artist as children, only to be told to wait at the gate by Roque until he finished working.
    It has since become a museum and gallery open to the public after it was inherited by Ms Picasso following her grandfather and brothers' deaths.
