About this Item

PICASSO BY WILHELM BOECK & JAIME SABARTES 1955 HUGE HARD COVER. From the flap of the dust jacket: In recognition of the unique character of this monograph Picasso himself collaborated in the production. He checked the 40 full-color plates for fidelity to his work. He was so taken with the so-called Classified Catalogue in which hundreds of his works are illustrated according to type and period that he spent many hours re-arranging and extending the coverage. He selected the painting which is reproduced on the jacket. And finally and this will surely make the volume a collector s item Picasso exclusively for this purpose made the designs for the covers of the book. I am therefore very pleased to offer: Picasso by Wilhelm Boeck and Jaime Sabartes. This very large hard cover book (8 ½ x 12 x 2 inches 524 pages) was published by Harry N. Abrams of New York dated 1955. There is an array of Picasso s works presented in this book. This book is very well illustrated with over 600 illustrations 44 of which are in color.
