A rare collection of 60 newly-discovered, unique groundbreaking color masterpiece graphic artworks on paper, by artist Pablo Picasso, acquired from across the globe, represents a top landmark museum-quality fine art exhibition in the United States that’s been years in the making. This extraordinary, never-before-seen collection is an opportunity to view and acquire an original work from one of the greatest masters of all time. Displayed throughout the walls of gallery, the pieces showcase the breadth of Picasso’s skills, mastery and genius in linoleum cuts, etchings, lithographs, drawings and aquatints. This is one of the greatest collections ever presented to view Pablo Picasso’s artistry that created a bounty of artistic riches that changed the face of the art world eternally.
