Otero Photographic Archive

The Argentinian journalist, writer and photographer Roberto Otero (1931-2004) was introduced to Pablo Picasso by mutual acquaintances and they remained close friends from 1960 until the artist’s final years. Roberto Otero was an inside observer of the artist’s mature period full of energy and good humour.

These photos are a small sample of the Fondo Roberto Otero, acquired by Museo Picasso Málaga in 2005. The entire archive, comprises of more than 1,500 images, documents, notebooks and correspondence is available to scholars and researchers in our Library.
