Pick up a Picasso at Sotheby's - Auction of the Artist's Ceramics in London on 18 March 2015

On 18 March 2015, Sotheby's London will hold a sale of Important Ceramics by Pablo Picasso. The vases, pitchers, plates, bowls and more, showcase the modern master's playful side. Unique as well as editioned, these ceramics made possible the artist's dream that anyone could own a Picasso. The comprehensive group of approximately 150 works range in estimate from £800 upwards to £55,000. Séverine Nackers, Head of Prints, Sotheby's Europe, commented: "The sale gives a great overview of the last 25 years of Picasso's life. Every kind of ceramic he produced is represented here." While on holiday in the south of France in 1946, Picasso visited Madoura Pottery in the small town of Vallauris where the workshop's owners, Suzanne and Georges Ramié, sat him at a bench and handed him a lump of clay. This humble gesture fired Picasso's imagination and ignited a working relationship with the Ramiés which resulted in the production of thousands of ceramics. The years Picasso spent in the region are understood to have been among the happiest of his life; he told his biographer Pierre Daix that he felt at home at Madoura. Two women bookended the artist's time with the workshop: his lover Françoise Gilot who gave birth to a son, Claude, during Picasso's first year at the pottery, and Jacqueline Roque, who worked there, became Picasso's wife and muse, and remained his partner for over 20 years until his death in 1973.
