Own a rare, hand-signed Picasso offset lithograph from 1966, featuring a defining image from the artist’s early Paris period and part of the sought-after Barcelona Suite. An iconic image of the early 20th century, its luminous colours and defiant subject matter demonstrate Picasso's early fascination with Van Gogh and his determination to forge his own style as a young artist in Paris.
Picasso's Birthday and the Barcelona Suite
This limited edition offset lithograph was produced for a landmark exhibition at the Museu Picasso in Barcelona, held to commemorate Picasso's 85th birthday The museum published five prints, each featuring an image of a major painting from its collection. They were released in a hand-signed edition of sixty, and are known collectively as the Barcelona Suite.
The Museu Picasso opened its doors to the public in 1963. It had been a complicated venture; following Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War, Picasso had sworn never to set foot in his homeland again until democracy was restored. His hostile relationship with the Spanish government meant that the museum was opened as a private initiative based on a personal donation of 574 artworks by Picasso's lifelong friend and secretary Jaume Sabartés. Other donations followed, some from Picasso himself, and the museum gradually grew in importance.
Picasso’s Early Period in Paris (1901)
This limited edition offset lithograph is based on a 1901 painting that had been acquired by Barcelona's municipal art collection in 1932, before being incorporated into the Museu Picasso. Titled The Dwarf, it dates from Picasso's brief Post-Impressionist period. In 1901 Picasso had been offered his first exhibition in Paris by Ambroise Vollard; for several weeks he worked frantically to create enough work for the show, sometimes producing two paintings a day. He sold half of the roughly seventy-five paintings exhibited - an astonishing success for a nineteen year-old debutant.
A Rare Opportunity for Collectors
Signed limited edition prints of Picasso's earliest works in Paris are exceptionally rare. This hand-signed offset lithograph allows collectors to capture a pivotal moment in the artist's early career, published in a small edition of only 60.
