Pablo Picasso paintings can be expensive. One sold at an auction in 2023 for $139.4 million. Another sold in 2015 for $179.4 million.

Brian Kemp urged Republicans to move past internal divisions and embrace a broader coalition approach. “We cannot be a party of one … We have to be a big-tent party,” @govkemp said in a conversation with our political columnist Jonathan Martin.
