Park West Gallery has announced the momentous debut of The Unknown Picasso: Treasures from the Family Collection. Featuring many exceptionally rare, limited-edition lithographs from the legendary artist’s private estate, this rich trove is a comprehensive survey of Picasso’s career which features every family member and love interest, every style and every famous theme.

The legendary magnitude of “Picasso’s Picassos” includes many works that are unknown even to experts, but relate closely to such museum masterpieces as Les Demoiselles D’Avignon and Guernica.

The Unknown Picasso: Treasures From the Family Collection is now available at Park West Gallery in New York at 411 W. Broadway, New York, NY 10012.

There is a great backstory to this amazing collection of art. Marina Picasso’s father was Paulo, Picasso’s one legitimate child. Her grandmother was the famous ballet dancer Olga Kokhlova, who is featured in many of the most endearing works in the collection. In many ways, the luckiest collector of his works has always been Marina, who has vivid memories of her grandfather drawing flowers to amuse her. She inherited not only a horde of more than 10,000 original works by the artist, including the most prestigious collection of his ceramics, but the splendid villa La Californie, overlooking the Mediterranean where Picasso spent many years.

When the studio and storage at La Californie were opened upon the artist’s passing in 1974, so many works were found that even to this day they have never been exhaustively catalogued. This astonishing abundance is a source of wonder, revealing intimate treasures the artist kept for the family legacy. Just when you think you know the master, from the Blue Period through the invention of Cubism, to the Surrealist and Expressionist reincarnations that made him the world’s most important artist, along comes more to astonish and teach us about the greatness of the creative human mind.

The Unknown Picasso: Treasures From the Family Collection is available at Park West Gallery New York at 411 W. Broadway, New York, NY 10012 in SoHo. Entrance into the gallery is free for all ages. Park West Gallery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information on Park West Gallery, please visit ParkWestGallery.com or call 917-287-4351.
