Women were endlessly fascinating to Picasso, in art as in life. Desitrable yet devouring, they are the subjects of what must surely be the majority of all his art.
Femme assise. Color pochoir after a painting, 1930. 1250 unsigned impressions for Eugenio d'Ors's Picasso, published in Paris in 1930. Executed with Picasso's consent and under his supervision for this early study of Picasso. The first 50 copies contained an original signed and numbered Picasso lithograph executed for this book. Image size: 252x187mm. Price: $2,275.
Au cirque / At the circus (B. 9). Original drypoint, 1905. 250 unsigned impressions for the suite of Saltimbanques published by Vollard in 1913. Ours is an impression from the cancelled plate. Picasso executed the drypoints in 1905 but could not afford the paper to print an edition. In 1913 Vollard purchased the cancelled plates and published a small edition of 250, from which our impression comes. Image size: 220x140mm. Price: $1,975.
L'Ecuyere / The Horseback rider (Mourlot 333, Gauss 766, Bloch 999). Original lithograph, 1960. 200 signed and numbered impressions on thin white vellum plus 1000 impressions signed in the stone, of which ours is one. Handling creases at bottom edge of paper. Image size: 516x646mm. Price: SOLD.
Deux tetes de femme / Two heads of women (B. 127). Original etching, 1931. Published in the Métamorphoses d'Ovide in an edition of 145 impressions. Ours is from the edition of 100 impressions with remarques published from the cancelled plate. The publisher, Albert Skira, went on to become one of the great fine art publishers of the 1930s-1960s and founded Minotaur and Verve. Image size: 322x252mm. Price: $1,575.
Days of glory (B. 372). Original etching, 1945. 1000 unsigned impressions for Jours de Gloire, 1945, a work published for the benefit of the French Red Cross to aid released French war prisoners. A work of classic elegance. Image size: 190x136mm. Price: $1,600.
