Picasso painting hidden for 80 years expected to fetch 8m+ at auction

The work, Bust of a Woman in a Flowery Hat (Dora Maar), was finished towards the end of the couple's turbulent nine-year relationship and shows Maar in a softer, more colourful light than Picasso's previous portraits of his then lover. Picasso made many paintings of Maar, including the famous, Portrait of Dora Maar and Dora Maar au Chat, but she said of them: All of his portraits of me are lies. They're all Picassos. Not one is Dora Maar.

Comment | Picasso's 'Three Dancers' sparked my love of art. Let's give others the chance to find their own way in

At the core of Tate Modern's exhibition Theatre Picasso, opening this week, is a painting that Picasso esteemed more highly even than Guernica (1937). Picasso told Roland Penrose that he much preferred The Three Dancers (1925) to his anti-fascist opus, because it is "a real painting-a painting in itself without any outside considerations". Tate is marking the painting's 100th anniversary with a show that includes its entire Picasso collection as well as major loans, but with a fresh perspective courtesy of its staging by the artist Wu Tsang and the writer and curator Enrique Fuenteblanca. By inviting contributions from contemporary dancers and choreographers, the duo will open up fresh interpretations of a masterpiece that has already proved inexhaustibly fascinating.
