Additional Information
Picasso made this series of artworks for an illustrated book with 66 etching and aquatints, as a response to Fernando de Rojas’ 1499 novel La Celestina: The Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea, considered to be one of the greatest works in Spanish literature, and a favourite of Picasso’s. The exhibition showcased the original artworks made to illustrate a special edition of the book.
The poster features a large image of Picasso’s The Serenade, 1971, with black and red text below the artwork image that reads:
PICASSO
ILLUSTRATION ORIGINALE POUR LA CELESTINE
GALERIE MADOURA
LE PLAN VALLAURIS
exposition à partir du mardi 25 mars 1975
IMPRIMERIE ARNÉRA - OFFSET TYPO - 06220 VALLAURIS
Hildago Arnéra taught Picasso the art of linocut printing during the artist’s time living in Vallauris, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France, and the two formed a close working relationship. When Hidalgo Arnéra passed away in 2007, art dealer, philanthropist and regular visitor to the Imprimerie Arnéra studio Fred Mulder was approached by his heirs to purchase their archive. It is from this collection that we have selected this rare Picasso exhibition poster for Tate Shop, now a piece of art history.
The poster has been carefully kept in excellent conditions for over fifty years, however please be aware that some signs of age can be expected on the paper. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, only one of these posters is available from Tate Shop.
