Picasso is back in the news as a rare, historic painting resurfaces in auctions, fetching tens of millions. Spanish-born painter-sculptor, co-founded Cubism, lived mostly in France (1881–1973).
A French charity has held its third raffle offering a Picasso painting for €100. The gouache work from 1941 has been won by a Parisian software salesman, with proceeds supporting Alzheimer’s research. The event has raised over €10 million across three editions, emphasizing art’s role in philanthropy.
