Pablo Picasso pottery for auction
Published September 7th, 2005
A collection of pottery by Pablo Picasso will go under the hammer in London later this year.
More than 100 plates, bowls, jugs, tiles and vases by the artist are expected to fetch between £1,000 and £35,000 each.
One of the auction’s highlights will be a painted and glazen earthenware vase, entitled Tripode, which Picasso made in 1951.
The collection will be auctioned at Sotheby’s on 26 October.
Picasso, who died in 1973, became interested in ceramics after seeing the work of the Madoura Pottery at a craft fair in the south of France in 1946.
