Parisian Wins $1 Million Picasso in Charity Raffle for Alzheimer's Research
Ari Hodara, a Parisian sales engineer, won a Pablo Picasso painting worth $1 million through a charity raffle aimed at raising funds for Alzheimer's research. The raffle, organized by Christie's auction house, sold 120,000 tickets globally, each priced at €100, generating €12 million. The painting, 'Head of a Woman,' depicts Picasso's muse Dora Maar and was part of the 'One Picasso for 100 euros' initiative. This event marks the third iteration of the raffle, which has previously supported cultural and sanitation projects.
