Pablo Picasso | Couple (Bloch 1460)

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) — Couple (Bloch 1460)

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is the defining artist of the modern era — co-founder of Cubism with Georges Braque, and among the most prolific and continuously inventive figures in Western art history, working across painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and printmaking for seven decades. Creed Gallery holds a rotating selection of Picasso works on paper and editions on the secondary market, each offered with a Certificate of Authenticity and supporting provenance.

"Couple" (Bloch 1460) belongs to Picasso's celebrated 347 Series — the extraordinary run of etchings he made between 16 March and 8 October 1968, working almost daily with printers Aldo and Piero Crommelynck at Mougins. Dated in the plate, this dense, cross-hatched composition of two entwined nude figures is typical of the suite's rapid, uninhibited return to the oldest subjects in his repertoire: the artist, the model, the couple.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
