Description
**First Time At Auction**
Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). "Visage no. 203" ceramic plate, conceived in 1963. Edition 99 of 150. Marked and numbered "N. 203 / Edition Picasso / 99/150 / Madoura" (underneath). A white earthenware plate displaying Picasso's bold, expressive facial imagery of stylized, geometric features in hues of black, peach, gray, and yellow with a cobalt blue border surrounding the edge. Among the rare limited edition ceramics Picasso created with the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris in the South of France! Size: 10" in diameter (25.4 cm)
Consistent with number 496 in Alain Ramie's "Picasso, Catalogue of the Edited Ceramic Works, 1947-1971" (Paris: 1988).
Pablo Picasso collaborated with the Madoura pottery studio to create ceramic works for almost 25 years. Georges and Suzanne Ramie founded the Madoura Pottery studio in Vallauris, France. The Ramies are probably best known for their wonderful collaborations with Picasso which resulted in an impressive oeuvre of Picasso ceramics. The Madoura pottery studio (Madoura being an acronym for MAison + DOUly (Suzanne's maiden name) + Ramie) opened in an abandoned factory building on April 29th, 1938. Picasso first discovered the Madoura workshop in 1946 and from then on maintained a 24-year collaboration, creating works inspired by his sketches.
Another edition of "Visage no. 203" was sold for $12,500 by Christie's London as lot 90 on June 26th, 2014.
Provenance: private El Monte, California, USA collection; ex-Simpson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired between 1990 - 1999
