Like the rest of the free world I'm a Picasso fan. This, despite the fact that I'm hardly a fan of cubism. Pablo's so much more than cubism however, as
Garçon à la pipe attests. Although initially a minor piece in Picasso's vast oeuvre,
Garçon à la pipe sold at auction in 2004 for over $104 million, surprising many. Of the Picassos I'm dying to see but never will,
Garçon à la pipe is top of the list. It's so charming, I want a reproduction in my pretend smoking parlor.
