”Picasso's Universe. Graphic Art Auction” brings to the attention of collectors and art lovers a selection dedicated exclusively to the work of one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso. The auction features representative themes from his vast artistic universe, along with a few limited series ceramic pieces created at the prestigious Madoura Plein Feu in Vallauris, France, where Pablo Picasso produced nearly 4000 ceramic pieces between 1947 and 1971. Among the most well-known themes are ”Guernica”, a universal symbol of the tragedy of war and human suffering, the famous work ”Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” (”The Ladies of Avignon”), numerous portraits of his model Dora Maar, the composition ”L'Arlésienne”, inspired by the cultural universe of Southern France, ”The Three Graces”, a modern reinterpretation of a classic theme in art history, and the theme ”Harlequin with Guitar”, a character from the Commedia dell'Arte often seen as a mask of the artist himself. The auction is an invitation to the fascinating world of a genius who redefined the boundaries of modern creation and influenced the evolution of universal art.
