The most expensive painting to be sold at auction, Pablo Picasso’s “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust,” goes on public display in Britain for the first time on Monday at the Tate Modern gallery in London.

The 1932 work, which sold for $106.5 million at Christie’s in New York last year, has been lent to the Tate galleries from a private collection and will be on display in a new Pablo Picasso room in the Poetry and Dream section.

“Nude, Green Leaves and Bust” is one of the sequence of paintings of Picasso’s muse, Marie-Therese Walter, made by the artist at Boisgeloup, Normandy, in the early months of 1932,” said Nicholas Serota, the Tate’s director.
