PABLO PICASSO, RAPE

VINTAGE BLACK AND WHITE PLATE AFTER THE ORIGINAL ETCHING BY PABLO PICASSO FOR THE FAMOUS 'PICASSO FOR VOLLARD' SUITE. THIS ARTWORK WAS PUBLISHED BY EDITIONS ARTHUR NIGGLI, TEUFFEN SUISSE IN 1956 AND PRINTED BY VERLAG GERD HATJE IN STUTTGART, GERMANY. BETWEEN 1930 AND 1937 PABLO PICASSO CREATED 100 ETCHINGS FOR AMBROISE VOLLARD, CONSIDERED AMONG MANY, AS THE GREATEST ART DEALER AND PUBLISHER OF OUR TIME. THIS SUITE IS CONSIDERED AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT OF AMBROISE VOLLARD. THIS PRINT GRAVURE IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE DUE TO IT'S AGE, AND THE DISTINCTION ACQUIRED BY BOTH PABLO PICASSO AND AMBROISE VOLLARD THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS. DUE TO AGE, FAINT AGE-TONING AROUND EDGES, BUT NOT ON IMAGE.
