After half century Picasso seen and sold


The Brody family owned this Picasso "Green leaves and nude" for half a century, painted in 1932, has appeared in public only once in 1961 just sold for $106 million. Why have a painting only you and your guests can see? As an investment? Isn't art intended to be appreciated by everyone? Isn't that the point? Or is it just an investment? I mean, over 50 yrs investing in Goldman Sachs would have been more lucrative, so whats the point of owning a picasso and keeping at home for yourself?
