Picasso Masterpiece 'Femme à la montre' Sells for $139 Million at Auction

A Picasso masterpiece entitled “Femme à la montre” fetched more than $139 million on Wednesday, becoming the second most valuable work by the artist ever sold at auction.

The 1932 oil painting took center-stage at a two-day event at Sotheby’s in New York, at the sale of late philanthropist Emily Fisher Landau’s private collection.

The piece, which measures 51¼ x 38 inches (130 x 96.5 centimeters), depicts Picasso’s lover and “golden muse” Marie-Thérèse Walter, who featured in many of his portraits.

According to the auction house, the portrait is from one of the most prolific years of the Spanish artist’s career, which was the subject of an entire exhibition organized by the Musée Picasso in Paris and London’s Tate Modern in 2018.

In a statement announcing the sale in September, Julian Dawes, Sotheby’s head of Impressionist & Modern Art for the Americas, said: “Picasso’s ‘Femme à la Montre’ is a masterpiece by every measure. Painted in 1932 — Picasso’s ‘annus mirabilis’ — it is full of joyful, passionate abandon yet at the same time it is utterly considered and resolved. Its bold primary colors sing from the five-foot-tall-canvas.”

Picasso first met Walter in Paris in 1927 when she was 17 years old and he was still married to his first wife, Olga Khokhlova, a Russian-Ukrainian ballet dancer. Walter would become the inspiration for some of his most sought-after canvases, drawings and sculptures.

As time went on, Picasso found it increasingly difficult to hide his feelings for Walter from his work — something that became clear during his first large-scale retrospective and finally ended his marriage.

The artist painted “Femme à la montre” in August 1932, soon after the retrospective at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris ended.

According to Sotheby’s, “the sense of release from keeping secrets about his affair seem to have spilled out onto this extraordinary canvas, in which he gives full painterly rein to new-found freedoms, drenching the painting in strong primary colors and beautiful forms, while at the same time paying careful attention to every small detail, creating a composition that is both intensely complex and deeply harmonious.”

Picasso died in 1973, and Walter in 1977.

The painting is one of about 120 from the collection of Fisher Landau, a world renowned contemporary art collector who died earlier this year aged 102, according to The Art Newspaper.

The two-part sale, which concludes Thursday, also includes works by Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning and Georgia O’Keeffe. The collection is expected to sell for over $400 million overall. Other big-ticket items auctioned on Wednesday included one of Jasper Johns’ iconic American flag paintings, which went for $41 million, and an Ed Ruscha artwork — an oil painting emblazoned with the word “Boss” — that fetched more than $39.4 million.

Fisher Landau began seriously collecting after receiving an insurance payout following an armed robbery of her jewelry at her New York home in 1969.

In an interview for an exhibition catalog, quoted in the Sotheby’s statement, she said of the episode: “Even though Lloyds of London paid up, there was no way to replace that collection. It was so beautiful. And they got it in one fell swoop…. I was devastated. But I decided that I didn’t want the jewelry any more. I now had seed money for a collection.”

Last year, Picasso’s most curious painting of Walter, in which she appears as a tentacled sea creature, sold for $67.5 million at Sotheby’s in New York.

Picasso’s portraits of Walter have become highly sought-after, with his other 1932 works “Femme assise près d’une fenêtre (Marie-Thérèse),” selling for $103.41 million in 2021, and “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust,” selling for $106.5 million in 2010.

In May 2015, Picasso’s “Les femmes d’Alger (Version “O”) sold at Christie’s in New York for $179.4 million — at that time, the highest price ever paid for a work of art at auction.

Still Not the Worst Thing She's Worn - Emily in Paris, Episode 9 Recap

Poster from IMDB

The episode opens with a shot of a bar in Chicago, full of people pouring champagne all over themselves, celebrating the Cubs winning the World Series. It then turns into an advertisement for Champère, and the screen enlarges to show us that Emily is pitching the idea to her coworkers. Now, if you follow baseball, you know that the Cubs last won the World Series in 2016 (and before that, the last time was 1908). This show takes place in 2020 when the Cubs did not make it past the first round of the playoffs. This is all to say that this must have been rough to watch for Chicago Cubs fans and as a bitter Phillies fan, I find that funny.

Anyway, Emily does her pitch. She seems to have ditched the “a bottle to sip, a bottle to spray” tag line in favor of “extravagance accessible.” I prefer the old one. Sylvie thinks the entire concept is tacky, and she’s not necessarily wrong. We also learn in this scene that Sylvie is ignoring Antoine’s calls. While I like that she’s cutting him out of her life, I don’t think she really has a right to be mad at him for picking his wife over his mistress. She knew what the situation was when she entered it.

Emily has a lunch meeting with a woman named Judith from an association called the American Friends of the Louvre. The two talk about hating how the French don’t pronounce the letter "r", and I have to say that there is something about a woman with a Southern accent saying she misses the "hard r sound" that just doesn’t sit right with me. Judith asks Emily if she can get Pierre Cadault to donate a dress for an auction the American Friends of the Louvre is hosting, and Emily says she will try her best.

Emily calls Mathieu to see if he has time to meet, and he ends up inviting himself to Camille's art gallery, where Emily was bringing Sylvie and Luc that night so they could talk to Camille about Champère. The four of them meet Gabriel and Camille there, and when Emily is speaking alone with Camille and Gabriel, Camille says she thinks Mathieu is into Emily, but Emily insists that they are meeting just for work. Emily is just so oblivious, and I hate it.

Mathieu and Emily leave the gallery to get dinner, and Emily doesn't bring up the dress donation (the whole reason for the meeting) until after dinner when they are walking around Paris eating crèpes (I did not know it until I saw it, but this is my dream date). When they say goodbye, Mathieu kisses Emily's hand in a rather suggestive manner.

Emily internet-stalks Mathieu and all his famous ex-girlfriends at work the next day and is interrupted by Sylvie who also thinks there is something suspicious about Emily's relationship with Mathieu, not that Sylvie is in any position to judge about mixing business with pleasure. Speaking of which, Antoine sends Sylvie a gift, which she refuses to open. After she leaves, Luc opens it, revealing the gift to be earrings for nipple piercings. Honestly, Sylvie does seem like the type.

Emily shows up to the auction in an absolutely atrocious raincoat-dress, but she is still somehow not the worst dressed there. That tile goes to a pair of designers for a brand called Gray Space, who make "avant-garde sweatsuits," a phrase that means absolutely nothing. They're wearing what I guess are "avant-garde sweatsuits" and carrying backpacks that suggest their fashion-muses are Doctors Venkman and Stantz.

While they are all waiting for the auction to start, Judith gets a call that the model for the Pierre Cadault dress is stuck in Dallas due to a flight delay. Absolutely wild move for her not to call until 10 minutes before the event begins when she's literally on another content and definitely knew she wasn't going to make it way before then. Judith enlists Mathieu to help, asking him to call one of the countless models he knows from working in the fashion industry. Instead of doing that, he uses the opportunity to hit on Emily, saying she should model the dress.

That she does, being awkward and playfully shy and then becoming super-confident the minute one person bids on the dress. The guys from Gray Space end up winning the auction, and the moment they do, they walk right up to Emily and use their backpack hoses to shoot paint all over the dress. Pierre is obviously horrified.

The next morning, the story is all over the news, and all the vultures men come to feast check in on her. First Mathieu texts to see if she's alright, seemingly more concerned about getting laid than the PR nightmare she just helped create for the business he runs. Then, Gabriel knocks on her door with a French newspaper, offering to translate the article about her. He tells her she should just skip work that day, which is absolutely horrible advice since she is already on the brink of being fired.

She does go into work, thankfully, where she tries to tell Sylvie this isn't that bad; it brought Pierre Cadault into the conversation, and the articles are just discussing "the old guard vs. the new." Sylvie astutely (and obviously) points out that it is not a good thing to be called the old guard and asks what exactly the conversation is about.

After a lame-ass confrontation with the Gray Space guys, she heads to Pierre Cadault's place, where she finds him lying in bed with a tray of crème brûlée, which is a move I can definitely get behind. He's actually just smacking the hard tops as stress relief, not eating them, but even that is pretty iconic. Pierre laments that his customer base has gotten older, and he now makes clothes for old ladies, and the younger generations mock him. Emily tries to cheer him up by insisting that Gray Space was not mocking but celebrating him. They chose quite the disrespectful way to celebrate, but okay, Emily. Whatever you say. Emily then presents Pierre with a Gray Space-style sweatshirt with his logo across the front and suggests that the two brands do a collaboration. Pierre hates the idea, as he should, and kicks Emily out of the room.

Emily then meets Mathieu in the entryway, who comforts her with a very familiar handhold. He then says, "do you know what the French did while bombs were falling in World War 2? They made love," and then kisses her. I'm not really sure why World War 2 is being compared to a ruined dress, and I also feel the need to point out that France wasn't really bombed during World War 2, as they surrendered to the Nazis quite easily.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger that I think was supposed to leave us in suspense but ultimately just left me confused. I cannot even imagine what's going to unfold in the season finale.

Rochon designed the common areas of Jade Signature, including the lobby, library, and Club Room, and also designed the interiors of London’s Savoy, the Four Seasons George V in Paris and the Waldorf Astoria, now under construction in New York.

An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the Brickell City Centre art fair only featured women artists. It’s open to all genders.

Top 10 Jeff Koons Collaborations

Is Jeff Koons taking on collaborations with open arms or awkward hand syndrome? Jeff Koons is no stranger to collaboration. In fact, he’s a bit promiscuous when it comes to sharing his artistic talent. You would think since Koons sold Balloon Dog (Orange) at auction for $58.4 million in 2013 (the most expensive work sold by a living artist) that he would kind of just do his own thing and keep shooting for higher and higher auction records.

But no, the man loves a good artistic partnership. He’s worked with musicians, clothing brands of all kinds, iPhone apps and alcoholic beverage companies, each more bourgey than the last. Here are the best of these collaborations in an effort to come to a decision about whether or not we even like his work.

  10. Stella McCartney

Source

  This collaboration gets style points purely because Stella McCartney is cool, not because this necklace and charm bracelet are. In fact they are both very, very ugly. But alas if you call it a Jeff Koons then the money will come. This necklace sold for $337,347, which is just bonkers if you ask me. This may be coming from the tragic loss of my own rabbit, Bubbles or a particularly disturbing viewing of Donnie Darko at the age of 12, but I just don’t see why one would want this dangling from their body. That might be something to take up with my therapist.

  9. Jay-Z

  Source

  Now this is a little more impressive. Jay-Z had just released his album, 4:44 when he decided to have one gargantuan (40 feet tall to be exact) Jeff Koons piece as the centerpiece of his stage design, which was a great decision because look how fuggin’ cool that looks. Unfortunately, that’s where the depth of the collaboration stops. We still aren’t sure why Jay-Z chose this as his backdrop as opposed to… literally any other cool looking giant sculpture. I mean sure, it’s badass looking, but it doesn’t add much to the content on Jay-Z’s music. And this collaboration is just no match to that of Beyoncé and Pipilotti Rist on Queen B’s track Hold Up on Lemonade (even though that one was sorta plagiarized, but I digress).

  8. Google

  Source

  These phone cases can go on record as the cheapest Jeff Koons piece one could own. For only $40 you could have a Nexus phone case with one of three sculptures from Koon’s Gazing Ball series: Diana, Bust, or Mailbox. And as an added feature, there is a live wallpaper that comes with the case called The Gazing Ball Ballet. “By double-tapping the screen, users will be able to enjoy one new movement every few days, effectively transforming your phone screen into a piece of performance art.” This is very cool but also means that you would have to get a Google phone instead of an iPhone and who is going to do that? But we respect Koons’ attempt to break into the tech world and also make art affordable for the people. It was very let-them-eat-cake of him.

  7. BMW

Source

  Every so often, BMW chooses a famous artist to design their “Art Car” and Koons has been wanting to do it since 2003. Finally, ten years later, BMW presented with Koons’ design at the opening of Art Basel in Miami Beach. Koons is in good company with artists like Alexander Calder, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, David Hockney, Jenny Holzer, and Olafur Eliasson having also designed cars. But Koons pays special tribute to Andy Warhol by making the racing number 79, the same year that Warhol created his Art Car. Personally I think all cars are just large, luxurious jelly beans, but it obviously made Koons exceedingly happy (just look at those arms) so we’ll give this collaboration full points.

  6. Dom Pérignon

Source

  If you were wondering what the pinnacle of bourgeyness is, it’s the collaboration between Dom Pérignon and Jeff Koons. This bottle holder is modeled after Koons’ Balloon Venus, which was modeled after the Venus of Willendorf and it costs $20,000… “Why so expensive?” you may ask, and the short answer is because they can. “But who would buy it?” you may add. Koons says that “[he] know[s] that [his] mother will want one… But [he] hope[s] a lot of collectors, people who are already involved with [his] work, will give these as gifts to their friends.” So if you still haven’t gotten around to finding that perfect gift for your bff, consider this. “But does it even taste good?” you ask. Here is what the makers have to say about it: “Its colour is deep, with light amber and copper tints. The wine’s bouquet erupts theatrically from its silken fleshy body, just as the sculpture’s reflective surface envelop the viewing in a dynamic invitation to tasting.” It sounds better than Franzia, but you can never be sure…

  5. H&M

Source

  This nifty little purse is the lovechild of H&M and Jeff Koons. And though you can’t put a price on love, you can put a price on this. And that price is $49.50. Pretty good for a Koons piece right? Koons stated oh so diplomatically, “I want my work to be accessible to people.” Specifically the people who don’t have $58.4 million lying around with which to purchase the original piece that this purse is representing. Artnet News claimed this as “this summer’s most irksomely ubiquitous handbag.” But they also thought that the bag was going to be a small balloon dog, not merely picture one so they were going to be let down no matter what. Personally, I don’t find it that annoying, but this is not Koons’ best collaboration so let’s move on.

  4. Burton

Source

  This collaboration is one of the best because they did it for the kids. Jeff Koons teamed up with the snowboarding company, Burton and also Plato (pictured left) to make “The Philosopher.” Jeff Koons’ kids got him to start snowboarding in 2013 and he fell in love with the sport. He claims, “It’s an extremely philosophical, transcendent sport,” which is mildly confusing but nonetheless was the inspiration for this design. The board costs a steep $5,000 (starting to notice a trend here?), but it’s ok because 100% of the proceeds went to the Chill Foundation, a non-profit that “provides opportunities for underserved youth to build self-esteem and life skills through board sports.” Whatta guy that Jeff.

  3. Snapchat

Source

  As collaborations go, this one is pretty brilliant. I mean using augmented reality to turn some of the world’s most famous tourist attractions into your own personal gallery is beyond inspired. Jeff Koons is a marketing genius. Among the locations where one can project 3-story tall Jeff Koons sculptures are Millennium Park in Chicago, the National Mall in Washington, the Venice Boardwalk in Los Angeles, Hyde Park in London, Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Central Park in New York, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, and on the Champ de Mars in Paris. And the only way to unlock the filter is by being within 1000 feet of the site so we know it’s legit. On another note, I feel it’s important to discuss what an underdog story this is for Snapchat. They started out as a chill way to send nudes and look at them now. On top of the world. It’s really touching to see.

  2. Louis Vuitton (you knew this was coming)

  Source

  Of course Jeff Koons has a collaboration with Louis Vuitton. There was just no way this wasn’t going to happen. Louis Vuitton has worked with Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Yayoi Kusama, and most notably, Takashi Murakami over the course of it’s everlasting reign over luxury accessories and just had to add Koons to the list. This was the first time in Louis Vuitton history though that they allowed an artist to reconfigure their monogram into the initials of the artist. Gasp! Each bag has on it a work from some of the greatest names in art history: Poussin, Boucher, Manet, Gauguin, Monet, Turner, da Vinci, Rubens, Fragonard, van Gogh, and Titian. All the heavy hitters (all the white, male heavy hitters that is) are represented and the collection was so successful that the fashion house decided to produce another collection with even more famous dead guys! Hurray! All jokes aside, Louis Vuitton put out some fire ads for this campaign that you can watch here.

  1. Lady Gaga

Source

  The best of Jeff Koons’ collaborations is hands down, Lady Gaga’s Artpop album cover. Lady Gaga was so into Koons’ Gazing Ball Series when she first saw them that she got down on the floor with them and promptly decided that she wanted to be turned into a Koons sculpture herself, which she mentions in her song, Applause: "One second I'm a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me.” The background of the album is cut up little slivers Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne. The background alludes to a transformation within Gaga, a new movement if you will. Also it gets an A+ for art history incorporation. Applause went on to be Lady Gaga’s most famous song, more so than Born This Way, which really makes me question the American public. But nonetheless, it’s a fire track on a fire album, which you’ve probably heard on the radio more times than there are flecks of gold in Botticelli’s Venus’ hair.
