Château de Boisgeloup
Château de Boisgeloup is an 18th-century château near Gisors in Eure, Normandy, formerly owned by Pablo Picasso and now a private art gallery run by his grandson Bernard Ruiz-Picasso and gallerist Almine Rech.
Picasso bought Château de Boisgeloup with his wife Olga Khokhlova in June 1930.[1] There he developed his art into a more abstract style and experimented in sculpture.[2] He also produced there many of the prints from the Vollard Suite (1930–1937).[3]
Picasso left Boisgeloup before World War II after his break-up with Olga Khokhlova in 1937. She took over the château and it was inherited by their son Paulo Picasso in 1973 and then by Bernard Ruiz-Picasso in 1975.[4]
In 2002 Bernard Ruiz-Picasso and his wife Almine Rech founded the Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte (FABA) to steer Picasso's legacy and in 2012 opened the château and Picasso's studio to the public, starting the first of a series of contemporary art exhibitions with Un Soir à Boisgeloup.[5]
