You’re probably wondering, what does THIS portrait mean?

This portrait is remarkable for including a watch, a rare theme in the artist’s work, found in just three pieces. Painted in 1932, it was a significant moment in Picasso’s 30-year career.

Katia Nounou Boueiz, Head of Sotheby’s UAE said,

It is a true privilege to have a masterpiece of this significance, by one of the world’s most well-known and well-loved artists, unveiled in the UAE as the first stop on its world tour.

This masterpiece is being sold at auction in New York in November!

Howeverrrr, you can still catch the piece for free between 2pm and 5pm on Monday and 10am to 7pm on Tuesday before it embarks on a world tour ending up in the USA.

BRB, saving that $120,000,000!!
