Pablo Picasso - Vallauris Exhibition. 1962. Printer: Arnéra. Plate: 64x53 cm; sheet: 75x62.5 cm. Original poster, linocut print, marked as a non-commercial print by the stamp in the lower left corner. Signed on the plate in the upper right corner. Mounted on canvas. Condition A-, two small, faint marks from old tape on the back at the ends of the bottom and right margins. It should be noted that this piece is one of 55 original posters by Picasso, created by the artist himself. More than just an advertising poster, it is above all a large-format original linocut by the artist, and a reminder that his work as a draftsman is not limited to Cubism. Our copy is all the more rare because it is part of a non-commercial print run of 120 copies intended to be retained by the printer. While this poster promotes local ceramics, it does not specifically feature his own works from Ramié. It was commissioned by the Vallauris Potters’ Association in the Alpes-Maritimes, for which he also produced other visuals. Thanks to Picasso’s arrival in this village, he helped bring local productions to the forefront and fostered the emergence of ceramicists such as Capron, Picault, Derval, and Anton Prinner...
