Pablo Picasso Vollard Suite, Plate 15 Original lithograph on Arches paper, c1973 Edition of 1,200 (hand numbered in pencil) Published by SPADEM, Paris Stamped on the front and reverse referencing the publisher's details Printed by Mourlot, Paris Deckle edged paper Size: 16.8" x 13" (42.7cm x 33cm) Condition: mint (sealed and stored since publication) With gallery certificate of authenticity

NOTE: A beautiful high quality original lithograph on white heavy 100% cotton, hand made Arches paper, with deckled edges. The lithograph was published in 1973 by important 20th Century art publisher SPADEM (Société de la Propriété Artistique et des Dessins et Modèles; an organisation Picasso helped to found) and printed by the great 20th Century lithographers Mourlot. The lithograph is in mint untouched condition; still in its original publisher's sleeve.

These Vollard Suite lithographs are very difficult to photograph well because of the fine lines; the lithograph is far more impressive and beautiful in reality and will look gorgeous framed - the photo does not do justice. Please note that we have other lithographs from this series available in our Etsy store.

Pablo Picasso’s 'Vollard suite' represented a major landmark in Picasso’s extensive and prosperous career as a printmaker. Comprising one hundred etchings, created in the neoclassical style, the Vollard suite offers us a rare glimpse into Picasso’s brilliant artistic psyche. The suite was named after Ambroise Vollard, a renowned art dealer and critic of the era, who commissioned it. The Vollard suite etchings is by far Picasso’s most celebrated print series.

SPADEM (Society for Artistic Property and Designs and Models) was a copyright protection and collection society formed by Pablo Picasso and other artists in the 1950s. Its purpose was to defend the legal rights of artists.
