C’est une facette de sa vie que l’on connaît moins, pourtant Picasso collectionnait et accumulait un nombre incalculable d’objets, photographies, toiles, cartes postales, grigris… L’artiste supporte mal de se séparer d’objets qui ont croisé son art et son histoire, ainsi il conservera à peu près tout dans un bazar qui n’appartient qu’à lui seul.

Another new item which will surely please visitors curious to learn more about the life of the painter, the museum will present the private collection of the artist. This is a less well-known facet of the life of the artist, but Picasso collected and accumulated scores of objects, photographs, canvases, postcards, jewelry… The artist couldn’t stand to be apart from the objects which were intertwined with his life and art, thus he saved everything in a bazaar all his own. Following his death, no less than 70, 000 objects were found to have been accumulated in his various apartments and workshops. Initially, constituted from junk found here and there, his collection became larger and more diversified from year to year, serving a testimony to the period. The painter gradually acquired renown little by little. He rounded out his collection thanks to art merchant friends who procured for him works from Ambroise Vollard, Edgar Degas, Paul Eluard or even Gertrude Stein.
