Art lovers in London will be heading to the Tate Modern to view the most expensive painting ever sold which is now on display in the gallery's new Pablo Picasso room. Picasso's 1932 'Work, Green Leaves and Bust' fetched $106.5 million (£65.5 million) when it was sold at auction last year in New York. The painting, featuring Picasso's sometimes mistress Marie-Therese Walter, is on loan to the Tate Modern from the anonymous owner. A major exhibition of Picasso's work will open at Tate Britain next year. www.tate.org.uk
