Hommage à Picasso. 1973/74.
Portfolio comprising 71 prints in various techniques by 69 artists, with 6 colophons.

On different types of paper. Some with the printer's or publisher's blindstamps. Up to: 103 x 71 cm (40.5 x 27.9 in), some the full sheet.
Some of the sheets are in paper envelopes, in six original cloth boxes, two original cloth rolls, and a cloth portfolio. With sheets by, among others, Dan Flavin, Claes Oldenburg, Blinky Palermo, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol.

Published by Propyläen Verlag, Berlin, and Pantheon Presse, Rome. Published by Ullstein Verlag GmbH, Frankfurt am Main/Berlin/Vienna, and Pantheon Presse S.A., Agno, Switzerland. Complete. [AG/JW/AW.
• Completely preserved portfolio are extremely rare.
• The portfolio impressively demonstrates Picasso's influence on 20th-century artists.
• Not only a tribute to Picasso, but also to graphic art itself.
• The complexity of Picasso's artistic work is reflected in the diversity of styles represented in the portfolio, including Pop Art, ZERO, Informel, and Minimal Art.
• The portfolio includes works by: Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Robert Motherwell, Eduardo Chillida, Joseph Beuys, Robert Rauschenberg, David Hockney, and Cy Twombly.
On the occasion of Picasso's 90th birthday, the most important contemporary painters, graphic artists, and sculptors have joined forces to create the graphic work “Hommage à Picasso.” More than fifty artists accepted the challenge of contributing a print to honor Picasso. The artists can be divided into two categories: those who pay tribute to Picasso within the familiar context of their own work, and those who deliberately, and sometimes critically, engage with his motifs, themes, and stylistic devices. Picasso, at the time ninety years old, followed the project with great interest, but did not live to see its completion. “Hommage à Picasso,” planned as a birthday salute, became a farewell to the extraordinary artist.
