Complete set of 24 Silver Plates

Spain (1881-1973)
About the Artwork
Between 1956 and 1967, Pablo Picasso collaborated with master goldsmith François Hugo to create a set of 24 repoussé silver plates. Produced in a limited edition of 20, each plate bears Picasso’s stamped signature and is presented in its original wooden box. The series is rooted in mythological themes inspired by the South of France, blending classical influence with Picasso’s modern vision. His work in silver developed naturally from his earlier exploration of ceramics, which began with a 1946 visit to the Madoura pottery in Vallauris. Over time, his friendship with the workshop’s owners, Suzanne and Georges Ramié, encouraged him to experiment with carving, etching, glazing, and painting. That spirit of innovation carried into his silver creations. Among the plates, Profil de Jacqueline honors his muse and second wife, Jacqueline Roque, reflecting the intimacy, joy, and inventiveness of this creative period.
