Asset in focus: Madoura Linocut

Pablo Picasso's 'B1296 Madoura' Linocut Print (1961) is a striking example of his mastery in printmaking, created during his experimental phase at the Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, France. This piece showcases Picasso's innovative use of linocut, where he reinvented the technique by layering two colors on Arches wove paper to produce a vibrant, sculptural effect. It reflects his ongoing exploration of Cubism, translating his three-dimensional vision into two-dimensional form.

The 'B1296 Madoura' series is part of Picasso's broader work with linocuts, a medium he embraced later in life, pushing the boundaries of traditional printmaking. His ability to fuse technical brilliance with artistic expression is evident in this limited edition of just 100 prints, each hand-signed by the artist.

As Picasso's market value continues to rise, this print stands as a coveted collector’s item, embodying his relentless creativity and enduring influence on modern art. Owning 'B1296 Madoura' offers collectors a rare piece of art history from one of the most transformative periods in Picasso’s career, solidifying its place as a significant investment in the legacy of a master.
