Femme au béret rouge-orange by Pablo Picasso

Bidding commences on 23 October through Sotheby’s in Las Vegas

In a first-of-its-kind marquee Evening Sale of masterworks by Pablo Picasso from the MGM Resorts Fine Art Collection, MGM Resorts and Sotheby’s will present the largest and most significant fine art auction to take place in Las Vegas. Conducted live from Bellagio Resort & Casino, all eyes will be on Picasso’s Femme au béret rouge-orange (estimated to fetch up to US$30 million) – one of his defining portraits of his muse and lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter. Created in 1938, paintings of Walter from this year are considered exceedingly rare. This specific work is one of the artist’s most personal paintings and remained in his private collection for decades.
