“It’s symbolic because I was born in a great family, but it was a family that was not a family,” Ms. Picasso said. By the time of his death in 1973, Picasso had created some 50,000 artworks and left behind a tangled brood of four children and eight grandchildren, as well as wives and muses, who have had a long-running battle over his estate and his legacy. Ms. Picasso is the daughter of Picasso’s son Paulo, and she has long kept her distance from the rest of the family. For years she was guided in her sales by Jan Krugier, a Swiss art dealer who curated and sold off many of the best works in her collection until he died in 2008.
She was disappointed, she said, by other sales routes, like a 2013 Sotheby’s auction of two major paintings, including “Femme Assise en Robe Grise.” The works drew $6.8 million, according to Sotheby’s in Paris, but Ms. Picasso said she had expected more because buyers knew the money was going to support her charities."
