Pablo Picasso is one of the principal artists of the 20th century, the founder of Cubism, who radically transformed the language of modern art. His oeuvre united academic training, Spanish cultural memory, European avant-garde, African and Iberian sculpture, Neoclassicism, and a constant experimentation with form.
In 2026, the world celebrates the 145th anniversary of the great artist. Of particular significance in his legacy are his graphic works and ceramics: Picasso created thousands of etchings, lithographs, linocuts, print series, and ceramic objects, all of which became an essential part of 20th-century art.
Pablo Picasso's artworks are held in the world's major museums, including MoMA (New York, USA), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, USA), the Guggenheim Museum (New York, USA), Tate (Great Britain), the Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), the Paris Picasso Museum (Paris, France), and the Queen Sofía National Museum Art Centre (Madrid, Spain).
In 2023, the artist was included in the Artprice 100; his auction record is $179.365 million for the painting Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O), sold at Christie's in 2015.
