PICASSO, Pablo
 
Tete de femme; heliogravure, printed at the workshops of Draeger Freres, for Teriade, Paris in 1954.
 
Description
 
French heliogravure, in black and white to velin paper.
In near fine condition and without colour loss or fading.
Teriade granted Picasso complete creative control for the publication of this suite. Picasso curated his own post-war output, and the master printers Draeger Frères were brought in specifically to execute the demanding, state-of-the-art heliogravures.
Cramer reference, 49.
Framed and glazed; ultra modern black composite frame with mount elevated over black. Some scuffing to frame’s face, otherwise very good throughout.
