The work of Picasso is characterized by several periods, such as the Blue Period, the Pink Period, the African-inspired Period and the Cubist Period. His groundbreaking Cubist works, made together with Georges Braque, deconstructed objects into geometric shapes and transformed the visual arts. Picasso explored themes such as love, war and the human experience, and produced masterpieces such as 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' and 'Guernica'.

Picasso's artworks are among the most valuable and sought-after on the art market. His works frequently break records at auctions, underscoring his lasting legacy and influence. For example, 'Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O)' sold in 2015 for 179.4 million dollars. Collectors and institutions worldwide highly cherish his works.
