Picasso's granddaughter is selling US$290m worth of his art

THE granddaughter of legendary Spanish artist Pablo Picasso is selling off a selection of his art work, as well as his famous French villa, for an expected US$290 million, Daily Mail reported.

Marina Picasso, who has famously spoken of Picasso being incredibly cold and distant from herself and her brother when they were children, has put at least seven pieces of art up for grabs, the report said.

The offering includes a 1921 painting called "Maternite" for US$50m, his 1911 "Femme a la Mandoline" for US$60m, and a 1923 portrait of his first wife Olga Khokhlova for US$60m, according to the report.

She is selling the artwork to the clients personally and will meet with prospective buyers in Geneva, according to the The New York Post.

Also offered for sale is her grandfather's estate in Cannes, France, the paper reported.
