FfFfFfFF 58,133 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 A New England homeowner received a shock recently when they rediscovered a rare Pablo Picasso work in their relative’s Maine home. The framed, 16- by 16-inch piece of paper, inscribed at the bottom right with the artist’s signature, had sat in a closet for 50 years, the unnamed individual writes in a statement published on LiveAuctioneers.com. After spending decades hidden away, the surprising find sold at auction last Saturday for more than $150,000, reports Travis Andersen for the Boston Globe. The work was auctioned off alongside more than 550 paintings, sculptures and other items recovered from private estates in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and Connecticut, notes John McInnis Auctioneers in a separate statement. In their statement, the seller—who has chosen to remain anonymous—says that their grandmother and great-aunt both studied art in Europe during the 1920s. Their aunt reportedly collected “rare books and art.” Picasso made a name for himself in early 20th-century Europe by experimenting with Cubism. His geometric paintings, from Guernica to Les Demoiselles d’ Avignon, toed the line between abstraction and figuration.
