Max Pellequer was a nephew of the dealer and businessman André Level. Along with his brother, Raoul, he was an investor in Level’s Galerie Percier. Pellequer also served as a private banker and financial advisor to Pablo Picasso, who he met through his uncle during the 1920s. Pellequer often sold works to Picasso or exchanged them for the artist’s own work.
