Billionaire art collector David Nahmad can't fully recall why he bought "Nature Morte," a charmingly simple oil on canvas that Pablo Picasso painted in 1921.
Given that Nahmad owns about 300 of the Spanish genius' works, his forgetfulness is perhaps understandable. With such a princely trove Nahmad says his Picasso collection is the world's largest in private hands details sometimes get lost.
"We bought so many Picassos now, I don't remember the specific reason," Nahmad said in an exclusive and rare interview with The Associated Press in his luxury home in Monaco.
"It's the smallest painting that I have."
Not for much longer.
