A COMPLETE set of 100 Picasso etchings that has not been seen in public before has been donated to the British Museum.
The etchings – created between 1930 and 1937 – will go on show at the museum next summer.
A fund manager working in the City donated around £1m to the museum to acquire the prints.
Picasso himself described his etchings as a “visual diary” and a way of keeping track of ideas that he was developing.
The museum said they “show something of Picasso’s creative process”.
Some 313 sets of Picasso’s 100 etchings were printed.
