Claude Ruiz Picasso, son of the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, has died at the age of 76 in Switzerland, his lawyer, Jean-Jacques Noyer, told AFP on Thursday, without providing further details. From 1989 to 2023, Ruiz Picasso ran the Picasso Succession Company, which manages the rights associated with the artist and his works. Last month, he handed the role over to his sister, Paloma Picasso.
Pablo Picasso had four children: Paul, the eldest, born from his relationship with Olga Khokhlova and died in 1975; Maya, daughter of Marie-Therese Walter, who died in 2022; and Claude and Paloma as a result of his relationship with Françoise Gilot.
The “Picasso Succession” monopolizes the copyright and reproduction rights of the work of the painter who died in 1973, as well as personal rights, moral rights and trademark rights.
It issues certificates of authenticity, fights counterfeit products, and takes legal action on a regular basis. (AFP)
