June 19th, 2008 by BallerHouse

Nothing says baller like a Picasso hanging on your wall, and Sotheby’s upcoming Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale in London on June 25 has seven Picasso’s you can add to your collection, assuming you’ve got the six to seven figures each piece is estimated to fetch at the auction. The time line on the Picasso’s up for grabs spans the artist’s lifespan, and the mediums range from oil on canvas to crayon.

Even if your friends know nothing about the art world, there’s a good chance they’ll recognize your Picasso. And if you just want to make sure everyone knows what you’ve got on display, you can always throw a museum-style description underneath. Check out a list of the Picasso’s up for auction down below along with their estimated prices and an accompanying image gallery.
