‍Reputation and influence

Picasso is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His impact on modern art and his contribution to various artistic movements such as cubism and surrealism raised his reputation to a global level.

Artistic innovation

Picasso is known for his ability to constantly innovate. His various artistic periods demonstrate his versatility and creativity. Collectors and art lovers appreciate the diversity of his work.

Cultural heritage and world renown

Picasso is considered an emblematic figure in cultural history, in Europe and internationally. His fame goes beyond the art world, which contributes to the fascination with his works.

Scarcity of works and strong demand on the art market

Many of Picasso's works are already in private collections or museums, thus underpinning the scarcity of works available on the art market. This low supply in the face of growing daily demand leads to an increase in the value of his work, which shows a certain added value during resale.

The master of modern art auction records

The artist holds a multitude of auction records. The most expensive Picasso canvas sold at auction is The women of Algiers, sold for 179.4 million dollars on May 11, 2015 at Christie's New York. More recently, The Woman with the Watch was sold for $139.4 million at Sotheby's New York on November 8, 2023.

A plurality of mediums

A major characteristic of Picasso's work lies in the plurality of mediums that he explored throughout his career. Beyond painting, the artist worked with sculpture, ceramics, lithography and especially drawing. This plurality makes it possible to acquire a work by the artist for any type of budget.

Historical stability

Over the decades, the art market has seen relative stability in the value of Picasso's works. This gives investors confidence in the long-term stability of the value of his works.

Thus, Picasso is a sure bet for investing in art. In addition to sharing a great emotion on a daily basis, the constantly growing artist's rating ensures added value when reselling.
