"Picasso's Universe". Graphic and Ceramic Art Auction #655/2026

"Universul Picasso. The Graphic Art Auction" brings to the attention of collectors and art lovers a selection dedicated exclusively to the creations of one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso. It features themes representative of his vast artistic universe, along with a few limited series ceramic pieces created with the prestigious Madoura Plein Feu in Vallauris, France, where Pablo Picasso produced nearly 4,000 ceramic works 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"; numerous portraits dedicated to his muse Dora Maar; the composition "L’Arlésienne," inspired by the cultural universe of southern France; "The Three Graces," a modern reinterpretation of a classical theme from art history; and the theme "Harlequin with Guitar," a character from Commedia dell'Arte often seen as a mask of the artist himself. The auction is an invitation into the fascinating world of a genius who redefined the boundaries of modern creation and influenced the evolution of universal art.
