Restaurants, Bars, Parties. And soon – Picasso.

Thanks to the Nicholas Berggruen, a New York City businessman whose family owns the largest private collection of Picasso in the world, the Tel Aviv Museum will soon be home to one of Picasso’s most famous paintings – though the specific piece has not yet been determined.

Berggruen, whose father was a close friend of the famous painter, has been looking for investments in Israel of late, and recently bought land in Tel Aviv for constructing a 32-story building. Now he’s looking for another investment in the city for about $100 million. This is aside from the painting, which could likely be valued in the tens of millions.

Museums are abundant in Israel – we’ve actually got more museums per person than any other country in the world – but Picassos remain rare, no matter how you look at it.

So when we keep writing about how cool Tel Aviv is – it really is. So, now do you believe us?

Thanks, Picasso.

(And thanks to Yediot Aharonot for the story!)

  6. In reviewing our content, we elected to remove Picasso’s “The Dream” from this site until we could determine our full rights to this much-requested photo. We look forward to your continued readership and support.
