Original Pablo Picasso Prints for Sale
Picasso's work continues to be in demand worldwide with the insatiable clamour for good quality hand-signed works driving a sustained growth in values.
Pablo Picasso is arguably the most influential artist that ever lived. A restless innovator and virtuoso of any artistic technique that he chose to adopt, Pablo Picasso was also a master of work on paper. For Picasso, paper was not just a medium on which to work but a source of inspiration in itself, whether he was tearing up found scraps into charming little figures, working at the etching plate or repurposing reams of unpromising brown wrapping paper into marvellous imaginary portraits. Regardless of the intrinsic value of the medium, he applied the same focus to the subject as if it were a painting or any more substantial material.
Picasso made prints throughout his life: the first in 1899, whilst still a teenager, and the last in 1972 when he was 90 years old. Over the course of his career he made nearly 2,400 prints, using etching, lithography, aquatint and linocut, among other techniques. His partnership with the renowned Parisienne lithography studio Mourlot, saw nearly 400 original artworks produced over two decades from 1945. Many of these works feature amongst the most popular and iconic of his images, such as the Dove of Peace created for the 1961 World Congress on Peace.
We specialise in original Picasso prints because of their enduring appeal and sheer graphic brilliance. Whether he was creating posters to advertise his annual ceramics exhibitions in Vallauris or illustrating books such as Ces Peintres Nos Amis (1958) he never gave less than his best.
When selecting Picasso’s work for investment from such a vast output, it is important to understand the factors that make one artwork a more attractive prospect than another. First and foremost is the subject matter. Picasso returned time and again to particular themes: nudes, bullfights, doves and mythical beasts amongst many. Consider also the medium: is your preference for etching or aquatint? The artist captured many evocative bullfighting scenes in linocut for example. If you favour bold colours and striking imagery, then you might prefer lithography.
However unless you are intending to focus on a particular theme or medium I recommend choosing a work that, regardless of its subject matter, is immediately and unmistakably a Picasso. This wall appeal will offer you the widest market and best chance of future growth in resale value, should that be your plan. Whether you are collecting for the sheer joy of ownership or as a legacy for family members, adding Picasso to your collection brings interest, delight and a sound investment.

As a significant influence on 20th-century art, Pablo Picasso was an innovative artist who experimented and innovated during his 92-plus years on earth. He was not only a master painter but also a sculptor, printmaker, ceramics artist, etching artist and writer. His work matured from the naturalism of his childhood through Cubism, Surrealism and beyond, shaping the direction of modern and contemporary art through the decades. Picasso lived through two World Wars, sired four children, appeared in films and wrote poetry.
As one of the greatest influences on the course of 20th-century art, Pablo Picasso often mixed various styles to create wholly new interpretations of what he saw. He was a driving force in the development of Cubism, and he elevated collage to the level of fine art.
With the courage and self-confidence unhindered by convention or fear of ostracism, Picasso followed his vision as it led him to fresh innovations in his craft. Similarly, his continual quest for passion in his many romantic liaisons throughout his life inspired him to create innumerable paintings, sculptures and etchings. Picasso is not just a man and his work. Picasso is always a legend, indeed almost a myth. In the public view he has long since been the personification of genius in modern art. Picasso is an idol, one of those rare creatures who act as crucibles in which the diverse and often chaotic phenomena of culture are focussed, who seem to body forth the artistic life of their age in one person.
