"Proceeds from the '1 Picasso for 100 euros' campaign will help fund research into Alzheimer's, a common form of dementia that is a leading cause of death worldwide."
"Olivier Widmaier Picasso, a co-owner of the painter's estate, says his grandfather would have been pleased with the raffle. 'He was a very generous man... he loved to help his siblings, his family and friends, and also people who were in need.'"
"The raffle was launched by French television producer Peri Cochin, who's already held two previous editions, in coordination with the Picasso estate and Picasso administration."
"In 2013, Jeffrey Gonano in Pennsylvania won L'homme au gibus (1914). That raffle raised 4.8 million euros for the International Association to Save Tyre to support traditional crafts in southern Lebanon."
A raffle is being held for Pablo Picasso's 1941 painting Tete de femme, valued over a million euros, to support Alzheimer's research. Tickets are priced at 100 euros. Proceeds will aid in funding research for Alzheimer's, a leading cause of death. Olivier Widmaier Picasso, the artist's grandson, believes his grandfather would support this charitable initiative. Previous raffles have successfully raised millions for various causes, demonstrating the potential impact of this campaign on both art appreciation and medical research funding.
