Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) — A $139 million Picasso painting damaged by billionaire owner\u00a0Stephen Wynn<\/a>\u00a0when he somehow poked his elbow through it will be publicly shown for the first time since the 2006 mishap.<\/p>\n

The patched-up “Le Reve,” or “The Dream,” owned by the Las Vegas casino operator, is part of a Picasso exhibit opening Oct. 15 at\u00a0Acquavella Galleries<\/a>\u00a0on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Other lenders to “Picasso’s Marie-Therese” include the\u00a0Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>\u00a0and collector\u00a0Steven Cohen<\/a>, founder of hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors LLC.<\/p>\n

Dealers estimated the show includes more than $500 million in artwork, though most isn’t for sale — including “Le Reve.”<\/p>\n

“He has no intention of selling it,” said\u00a0Nick Acquavella<\/a>, a gallery director.<\/p>\n

Wynn, who has an eye impairment, accidentally put a silver- dollar-sized hole in the 1932 portrait of Picasso’s sexy blonde mistress Marie-Therese Walter while showing it to friends, who included the writer\u00a0Nora Ephron<\/a>. The 2006 incident occurred less than 24 hours after he agreed to sell “Le Reve” to Cohen for $139 million. The sale was eventually canceled.<\/p>\n

The tear was repaired and the erotic painting of Picasso’s dozing lover, with her left breast exposed, usually hangs in Wynn’s Las Vegas office.<\/p>\n

“To the naked eye, you can’t really see anything,” Acquavella sai<\/span><\/p>\n
