Marina Picasso, granddaughter of Pablo Picasso, is selling a Van Gogh watercolor, 'Woman in a Wood,' at Sotheby's on 13 May, estimated to fetch between $600,000 and $800,000. The artwork depicts a woman near The Hague, where Van Gogh lived. On the reverse is another painting, 'Boat on the Beach with Figures.' Following a challenging life marked by personal tragedies, Marina inherited wealth from Picasso's estate. She purchased the Van Gogh in 1987, symbolizing her journey from poverty to affluence within the art world.
It is a piece of art that carries not only Van Gogh's brush but the weight of my family's history; it's both a treasure and a testimony.
Marina Picasso has faced immense emotional challenges, yet she now stands at a crossroads, flaunting both that heritage and significant financial resurgence.
