Swiss competition gives winner Picasso painting for a day

A competition being run by Switzerland’s Beyeler Foundation museum and Swiss telecommunications giant Swisscom is giving one Swiss household the chance to take possession of an original painting by the Spanish artist for day.

The picture in question is Pablo Picasso’s 1939 painting ‘Buste de femme au chapeau (Dora)’. The artwork is a portrait of the painter’s lover and muse, the French artist Dora Maar.

It will be loaned out on April 16th. People hoping to win the unusual prize need to submit an entry here by April 1st. They must explain in detail what their plans would be if they had a Picasso in their home for a day. Entries must also include a photo or video.

The winner will be chosen by public voting, with a jury having the final say, as reported by The Local.
