Record sales 93 million

When Picasso  died he left behind 70,000 paintings. Thousands of pottery and sculptures in 11 different houses.  All to go to his heirs including 5 children and at least 2 ex-wives and 3 or so mistresses.

He was not a nice guy to most people. I think he was obsessed with his painting and creating to the point he didn't understand other peoples feelings.
Genius or crazy person? I don't know but he did some cool art and moved art in to the 20th century. He developed Cubism with another artist. He held a mirror up to the Nazi's during WWII.

Some years after his death one of his paintings sold for 93 million dollars.

As a painter I would like to sell a painting for half that much. I would take a day off!

Enjoy and keep your  brushes wet.
