Lot Essay
Claude Ruiz Picasso has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
Pablo Picasso’s Taureau was originally conceived in 1955 and was cast during the artist's life time, just over half a decade later. Sculpture was a crucial part of Picasso's work, he had been intrigued by the possibilities of works in three dimensions for most of his career, and several times dedicated particular focus on the medium. The subject of the bull runs like a thread through Picasso's work, emerging in different guises. In particular, he often placed his bulls in context of the bullfight, or corrida. He had been brought to bullfights from a young age in Malaga and had long been fascinated by them.
