Françoise Gilot, a tireless artist who defied simple categorization — and efforts to define her merely as a footnote in the story of her former lover Pablo Picasso — died Tuesday in New York. She was 101. Her death was confirmed to The New York Times by her daughter, Aurelia Engel, who said Gilot had recently suffered from lung and heart problems. CNN was unable to reach Engel, or Gilot’s other children, to confirm these details.
In a statement, Gerald Joyce, the president of the California-based Salk Institute — a scientific foundation established by Jonas Salk — said: “Françoise Gilot has been truly inspirational to all of us at Salk, to Jonas during his life and to our entire community through her involvement with Symphony at Salk and many other Salk undertakings. Her artistic genius can be seen on display around campus through the many pieces of art she donated to us.
