The Book.
Published in May 2015 to coincide with the sale of Pablo Picasso’s Les Femmes d’Alger (Version ‘O’) at Christie’s New York.
“I have a feeling that Delacroix, Giotto, Tintoretto, El Greco, and the rest, and as well as all the modern painters, the good and the bad, the abstract and the non-abstract, are all standing behind me watching me at work.”
— Pablo Picasso
