Auction introduction: Christie’s is pleased to present an online-only auction of ceramics that exude Pablo Picasso’s celebrated joie de vivre, expressed through the artist’s characteristically energetic colours and playful forms. Offered alongside our Prints and Multiples sale, and with estimates beginning at only £500, the Picasso Ceramics sale features artworks for both emerging and seasoned collectors alike. This year marks the 75th anniversary of Picasso’s collaboration with Madoura, a partnership that would last for close to 25 years. This fruitful union brought forth over 600 different editioned designs, alongside many more unique works of all shapes, subjects and sizes. We invite you to explore Picasso’s vibrant and whimsical creations online and in our galleries. Highlights from the Picasso Ceramics sale will be on view at Christie’s headquarters in London as part of the sale exhibition from 7–20 September.
