Sotheby's to Auction Picasso Painting of Françoise Gilot in November
Sotheby's will auction a Pablo Picasso painting, "Buste de femme" (1949), featuring his longtime partner Françoise Gilot, on November 18. The piece comes from the Neumann Family Collection and is estimated to fetch $9-12 million.
This portrait marks a rare opportunity for art enthusiasts to acquire a work by Picasso that has been kept private for decades. Gilot, an artist in her own right, passed away last year at 101.
The auction house's senior vice president, Julian Dawes, notes the painting's bright color palette and its significance as a representation of Picasso's happy relationship with Gilot during this period.
