About the Artwork
This individually exhibited gold medallion is part of Pablo Picasso’s limited series of wearable sculptures, created in collaboration with master goldsmith François Victor Hugo in the mid-1950s. Cast in 23 karat gold, the piece reflects Picasso’s exploration of form beyond canvas and paper, reinterpreting his signature line into tactile, sculptural relief. The motif, centered around an abstracted human visage surrounded by radiating lines, conveys a sense of cosmic rhythm, echoing the solar symbolism present in many of his ceramics from the same period.
Each piece in the series was produced in an edition of 20, with two artist’s proofs per design, and was cast in a limited edition, signed by the artist, and marked with full assay and atelier stamps. Exhibited individually at Hedonist Gallery, this medallion stands as both an intimate sculpture and a statement of timeless form.
