Picasso / Vollard
Prints from the Stock of the Artist’s Publisher Over 60 graphic works by Pablo Picasso from 1905 – 1937 Presented by Marc Rosen Fine Art at Adelson Galleries October 6th through November 7th
T
he relationship between Picasso and art dealer, Ambroise Vollard began in Paris in 1901, when Vollard gave the artist his first one-man show. Vollard later acquired the copper plates for Picasso’s 1904-05 series of prints evoking the lives of street performers, which he published in 1913 in a large edition, known as La Suite des saltimbanques. A small number of proofs of each subject were printed in 1905, and Vollard had two or three additional proofs printed from each plate before having the plates steel-faced. The exhibition includes several proofs, including the finest impression known of a classic Blue Period image of a seated clown, Le Saltimbanque au repos. Another exceptional early work is a unique impression of two woodcuts from 1907, L’Aigle and Le Poussin, carved on one block, and hand-printed by the artist in gouache on a single sheet. Only a small number of the separately printed images exist, and no other example is known of the two subjects printed together. The Suite Vollard, one of the greatest print projects of the 20th century, began early in 1934, when Picasso wanted to buy a Renoir and a Cézanne from Vollard. They agreed to exchange a body of the artist’s works on copper for the two paintings. Eventually, the suite grew to 100 works in a wide range of etching and engraving techniques, encompassing some of Picasso’s most significant themes (artist and model, the battle of love, the minotaur). Thirty-six of the best-known subjects from the deluxe edition of 50 of the Suite Vollard will be on view. An extremely rare, signed deluxe edition set will be shown by appointment only.

LA FAMILLE DE SALTIMBANQUES AU MACAQUE, 1905
Drypoint, from the Saltimbanques Suite, signed in pencil, one of two proofs before steel-facing printed by Fort in 1913, on a sheet of fine wove paper from an old album, inscribed in pencil in the lower edge, 1er état – HP (Henri Petiet) Sheet 17 3/4 x 11 5/8 in. Plate 9 3/8 x 7 in.
References: Bloch 11; Geiser/Baer 13
This subject was not published in the Saltimbanques Suite, because oxidation ruined the plate during steel-facing, and Vollard had most of the intended edition destroyed. Picasso signed this impression for Henri M. Petiet for the exhibition of the artist’s graphic works, Pablo Picasso: L’Oeuvre gravé, held at the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, June – September, 1955. This important exhibition also marked the first public showing of prints from the Suite Vollard. 20

References: Bloch 98; Geiser/Baer 247 a/c
Baer did not know of proofs on this paper, which is much smoother than Arches and therefore takes a stronger though still clear impression. Picasso chose chine appliquĂŠ for the edition, possibly because it comes closer to the visual effect of printing on Japan. 48

The Suite Vollard
P
icasso executed 97 plates of the Suite Vollard between September 1930 and June 1936. He added three portraits of Vollard in 1937 to complete the series, which was printed before Vollard’s death in 1939. The deluxe edition of 50 sets was printed first, on large format Montval laid paper. (The regular edition of 260 sets was printed on smaller format Montval.) Vollard’s death and the onset of World War II prevented the publication of the suite, which was acquired in its entirety by the connoisseur and art dealer, Henri M. Petiet. In the mid-1950s, Petiet coaxed Picasso to begin signing a few complete suites, and selected subjects. By 1969, Picasso had stopped signing prints from the Suite, and a large part of the edition remained unsigned.
Henri Petiet used his own numbering system for the plates of the Suite Vollard. He or an assistant frequently inscribed these numbers in pencil in the lower left edge of each sheet.
