News recently broke that a painting by Pablo Picasso is going to auction at a Christie’s sale in London on March 23. It’s a portrait of his muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter, a model who became the mother of his child, Maya Widmaier-Picasso, and it’s expecting to fetch over $15 million.
Paris-based art historian Diana Widmaier Picasso, the granddaughter of Picasso and Walter, recently released a book uncovering Picasso’s top 100 artworks, in a book titled Pablo Picasso: The Impossible Collection. The book, which details the top artworks of the Spanish artist, traces his cubist era, his famed Guernica piece, self-portraits, and later works.
