Christine Ruiz-Picasso

Christine Ruiz-Picasso, the daughter-in-law of Pablo Picasso, has died at the age of 97 at her home in Provence, France. She was the widow of Paul Ruiz-Picasso, son of Pablo Picasso and Olga Khokhlova. Her death is newsworthy due to her significant role, alongside her son Bernard, in establishing the Picasso Museum of Málaga. The museum, a major cultural institution in Málaga, Spain, was largely the result of her efforts and dedication to preserving and showcasing Picasso's legacy. In 1992, a visit to Málaga for the 'Picasso Clásico' exhibition at the Episcopal Palace inspired her to contribute to the city's artistic heritage. Her work in promoting and preserving Picasso's art continues to be relevant and significant to the art world and the city of Málaga.
