Hi: I need to certificate a Picasso drawing, but I don't know whom have to contact.
If anybody has the emails where I have to write I thank it very much!

You could try Sotheby's or Christie's. I would think they would be interested in trying to authenticate an original Picasso if it looked promising.

Thanks John, but I had bad experience in the past with Sotheby's and Christie's.
I don't know to whom they ask in this cases, may be the Picasso Museum.
I want to make it directly with the right authority and decide later were to sell it.

Maybe you could start with an art appraiser in your area and let them advise you. Ultimately it may be the main Picasso museum or else the Picasso Foundation you have to be accepted by, but an art appraiser could hopefully tell you what you've got and how to research it and how to go about getting it authenticated.

Thanks John, I've sent yesterday an email to the Picasso Museum in Malaga, and I'll try here with and appraiser.

Yours,

Luis
