Pablo Picasso

Between 1930 and 1937, Pablo Picasso published The Vollard Suite, his most famous print series. The piece "Sculptor and Model" is part of the original series.

In 1997, the Suite Vollard was recreated from the same plates and paper as the original in an edition of 300 pieces. The printing process of this series was done in such a way that it was almost identical with Picasso’s original. The paper used was created through a manual process, specially designed by Richard de Bass, in Ambert, France, a large paper factory with a historical reputation. The paper used in the original edition, as well as the quality, blanco narcisco, velin 200 glm2, imported Drissier Feinpapiere, was produced in the same factory. Plitt Druck supervised the technological development and production in Oberhausen. The piece is plate-signed by Picasso. Made under license from the Picasso family, each piece is stamped on the reverse.

Auguste Renoir

In 1919, a book was published by Ambroise Vollard on the life and work of Renoir: “La Vie et l’Oeuvre de Pierre Auguste Renoir.” At the turn of the century, Vollard was the most renowned dealer of art of his time. He discovered such artists are Cezanne, Matisse, and Vlaminck, just to name a few. The book was printed as a limited edition of 1,000; copper plates used for the book’s engravings were left forgotten in the basement of a country house just outside of Paris, France. After WWII, only six copies of the book remained in existence from the original edition of 1,000, which are now priceless. In 1986, long after the death of Vollard and Renoir, Vollard’s heirs discovered the copper plates and the result has now been made available. Most of these etchings were never printed or published until now.

Ambroise Vollard owns publishing rights as well as all of the copper plates used to print these Renoir engravings which were hand printed in France and are of outstanding quality and definition. Each is plate-signed by Renoir. Three Renoir pieces are available.

Salvador Dali

Six Salvador Dali etchings are available, all from his Fontaine suite. Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) is the most famous French fabulist (akin to our Aesop) and probably the most widely read French poet of his time. La Fontaine's Fables are choice in every sense: utterly correct, balanced, exquisite in rhyme, natural and easy, droll, witty, knowing, sage, utterly French. They were an immediate success. Until recently, well-educated French people could quote hundreds of lines from La Fontaine.
