Picasso masterpiece expected to fetch $120m in auction
The November auction of a Pablo Picasso masterpiece, the late Spanish painter’s ‘Femme a la montre’ from 1932, is expected to fetch at least $120 million, Sotheby’s announced Wednesday.
The painting, which depicts Picasso’s mistress wearing a watch, will be sold as part of a two-day auction of late New Yorker Emily Fisher Landau’s prestigious collection.
Other works up for sale include pieces by Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and Andy Warhol.
Fisher Landau, a longtime board member of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and a renowned art patron and collector, passed away in March at age 102.
