Picasso's 'Bambina con colomba' to be auctioned by Christie's after 40 years at National Gallery

Picasso's painting 'Bambina con colomba', owned by the Aberconway family, has been on loan to the National Gallery for forty years. Due to financial pressures, the family has decided to sell the work, and it will now be auctioned by Christie's. The sale was reported by Corriere della Sera. In other art news, Federico Rampini writes in La Repubblica about Brewster Kahle's Archive project, which has already collected half a million books aiming to create a 'Noah's Ark' of printed materials. Additionally, exhibitions include Tintoretto in Rome, Villeglé in Padua, Chini's art nouveau ceramics in Fratta Polesine, and American post-impressionism at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, as covered by Quotidiano Nazionale.
