Lot Essay
Le verre sous la lampe is one of seven terracotta plaques which Picasso produced with the Ramiés at Madoura in the early 1960s. In addition to his collaboration with the Ramiés in Vallauris since 1947, Picasso had also started an equally fruitful and creative working relationship with the local printmaker Hidalgo Arnéra in 1954, where Picasso created this series of seven linocuts. The ceramics produced at Atelier Madoura and the linocuts produced at Imprimerie Arnéra highlight the breadth of collaboration between Picasso and these two studios at this time, each renowned for their mastery of their respective craft.
