Seller's Description:
Purchase now After Sale
After Pablo Picasso’s death in 1973, Marina Picasso authorized the printing of these original lithographs, which have come to be known as the PICASSO ESTATE COLLECTION. The lithographs were meticulously created after the original works (Oil Paintings, Watercolors, Pastels, Drawings, etc.) by Master Chromist MARCEL SALINAS, who worked closely with Picasso. They are printed in an edition of 500 on first-quality Arches paper. To ensure authenticity, each print is signed and numbered in pencil by Marina Picasso and embossed with the estate and chromist’s seals, along with the legend on the reverse “Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso”.

Art Market Data

Pablo Picasso Price Development
  • More About this Chart

    • The chart shows the annual average premium prices of lots sold by the artist, which are calculated by dividing the total sales volume of the premium prices of all lots sold by the number of lots sold. For 2009, the data included in the calculations is current through the 15th of June. The charts will be updated every three months.

      The data is culled from the artnet Price Database, which has collected auction sales results for over twenty years.

      Prices are stated in USD in order to facilitate comparison and analysis of the market reports. When sales took place in another currency, the conversion of that amount into USD was done on the basis of the average conversion rate applicable on the day of the sale.

      Although most auction houses these days report transactions in prices that include a buyer’s premium, some auction houses report only the hammer price. Based on an analysis of historical auction catalogs, we apply a formula to all records with hammer prices to estimate the effect of a buyer’s premium. All prices used in the charts are either reported in or equated to hammer price plus buyer’s premium.
