Nine works by Picasso have been donated to France by his daughter Maya and will enter the national collections at the Picasso Museum in 2022, French Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot announced on Monday.
“It is with deep emotion that I come to celebrate the entry into the national collections” of this dation (the legal act of conferring or giving), said the minister who evoked an “exceptional event”.
This “dation”, which includes six paintings, two sculptures and a sketchbook that belonged to the giant of painting, thus allows Maya Ruiz-Picasso to pay her inheritance tax in kind.
