About the Artwork
Set of 24 Silver Plates, 1950’s, By Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). This rare collection of 24 silver plates brings to life original designs by Pablo Picasso from the 1950s–60s. Only 20 sets were made, with 2 author’s copies and 2 artist’s copies, created for Picasso’s inner circle and never intended for public display. The plates reveal a playful and imaginative side of Picasso’s work. One of the designs, the iconic Taureau, was once owned by Queen Elizabeth II. This represents a truly rare opportunity to own a Picasso work of the calibre typically reserved for highly prestigious collections.
