Picasso Mistress, German Art Add $99 Million to London Sales

A Pablo Picasso painting of his mistress Marie-Therese Walter and a collection of German art from the 1960s and 1970s may add as much as 60 million pounds ($99 million) to London’s June art auctions.

Picasso’s canvas “Jeune fille endormie,” showing Marie-Therese snoozing on her folded arms, is estimated to fetch 9 million pounds to 12 million pounds at Christie’s International. The group of 59 German contemporary works has an upper estimate of 47.5 million pounds at Sotheby’s.
