Lot Details
'Female head with Necklace', linocut c.1962. 270 x 225mm. Note: Between 1958 and 1961 Picasso made many linocuts, a process that he enjoyed. First issued in signed editions of 50 by Galerie Louise Leiris. Picasso invented the ‘reduction’ method, progressively cutting the same linoblock for each new colour, making it impossible to take any further prints from the original block. In 1962, in collaboration with Picasso and Galerie Louise Leiris, new linoleum plates were made at 42% of the original size, The print offered here is one of these prints.
