@sothebys: Picasso’s iconic portrait of his greatest muse Dora Maar sparked a thrilling bidding battle in its auction debut at #SothebysLondon. Nine bidders drove this masterpiece from The Lewis Collection to £23.9 million. Created in 1938, ‘Buste de femme’ is one of Picasso’s most tender and candid portraits of Dora Maar—the woman whose startling beauty and fierce intelligence was to inspire the creation of some of the greatest portraits of the artist's career.

The final bid was 20.3 million. But it was sold at 23.9 million because of the buyer’s premium that is added to the final bid price.

People don’t get why his artwork holds so much value but it’s also representative of the style of painting he introduced to the world and the artistic movement it caused. His artwork may not look like much but where he painted it, what time of his life he painted it, what materials he used…all affect the value

In May 1940, while living in Paris, the Surrealist photographer and painter Dora Maar came to Thomson's apartment to sit for a musical portrait. The painting is as ingeresting as the music.

Everyone assumes that the bidders are wealthy individuals. For much of this stuff, especially a Picasso, the bidders are museums for their collections, corporations for their offices etc. So, while yes, there are many very wealthy individuals who could afford this, they aren’t the only bidders.
