French charity Alzheimer’s Research Foundation is raffling Picasso’s 1941 portrait, Tête de femme, worth over €1 million. With tickets priced at just €100, anyone worldwide can try their luck. The raffle aims to raise €11 million for Alzheimer’s research, a major disease worldwide. The draw is set for April 14 at Christie’s auction house in Paris. This project, called “1 Picasso for 100 Euros,” is the first global raffle of its kind. Picasso’s grandson, Olivier Picasso, praised it as a “logical and legitimate part of his legacy.” He said, "My grandfather was very generous, but he was also discreet." Picasso helped family and others during tough times including Spanish Civil War and World War II. The idea came from French TV producer Péri Cochin, who got approval from Olivier and the Picasso estate. The painting will go to the winner while the gallery receives nearly €1 million. Cochin said, “We are used to hearing about Picasso and these high-priced auctions, but this was the first time where Picasso was really related to a charity.” Olivier noted the painting was made during a complex time in Picasso’s life and Paris’s Nazi occupation. The colors reflect the dark mood. He called it a “very interesting” work and a souvenir of that period. Cochin has run two similar raffles before, raising over €10 million. Past winners included a young man from Pittsburgh who lent his Picasso to a museum and an Italian accountant whose life changed after winning. If ticket sales don’t cover the painting’s price, all participants will be refunded. This raffle offers a rare chance to own a Picasso while supporting a vital cause.
