Well, heck - he MADE so much - they can't even open up to the market what is warehoused - it would devalue everything else already out there!

There is some 10s of thousands of pieces never seen yet. I saw a movie he made that was stashed for 25 years - in his will it said to wait that long before it aired.

Oh, it's brilliant alright. It's just that he made so much stuff and to learn that he burned many pieces too is interesting.

I remember some comment Picasso made about 'just starting exploring things.' He probably dabbled in a lot of stuff. Anyone know more?

I'd be curious...

And trivia isn't something I'm very good at. There's just something about your blog...
