Harris Schrank Fine Prints

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Le Couple, 1951, drypoint on chine volant, signed lower right margin and numbered (5/XI) lower left margin. References: Bloch 690, Baer 889. Presumably an impression of Baer’s 889 Bb before the edition of 400 included in the book Dons des Feminines. 8 1/2 x 6 5/8, the sheet 19 1/5 x 12 3/4 inches. In good condition except for extensive rippling in the (very wide) margins, probably resulting from the process of printing on this paper (not affecting the image), a printer’s crease at right, a reinforced thin spot verso in the margin.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) etching, drypoint, burin and aquatint Femme Nue Assise et Trois Tetes Barbues, signed in pencil lower right, from the Vollard Suite, from the total edition of 300, with full margins in excellent condtion (5 1/8 x 7 1/8, the sheet 17 1/4 x 13 1/2), on cream wove paper, archival acid free matting.  References: Suite Vollard 25, Bloch 216, Geiser 416.

Femme Nue Assise was one of Picasso’s earliest works […]

A fine, delicately printed, clear impression of this fascinating composition. The model at left (looking rather sculpted herself) contemplates a sculpted group – a horse with attending figures – as well as the sculpteur. Small faces below the sculpture view the scene, or perhaps the viewer. This is one of the more complex compositions […]
