The Picasso Administration gave the authentification to the ceramic piece. Claude knew a lot about the Geneva-based gallery. He attended Bailly Gallery and knew its employees well. This gives the incorporation of the pottery an aura of melancholy. It also functions as a modest homage to him, given that he passed away just last month in August 2023, at the end of the month.

The limited edition porcelain depicting Claude as a youngster provides an unusual chance to observe a fresh, emotional aspect of the renowned artist’s practise, which is complemented by the painting, drawings, and a variety of other ceramics. The exhibition, which offers a succinct but engaging overview of Picasso’s practise, as well as a peek into a less well-known aspect of it, is on display until November 4, 2023.

Claude Picasso was the youngest son of the Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso. He also managed Picasso’s life work and estate. Claude was born in 1947 and worked as photographer Richard Avedon’s assistant. However, his role became even bigger back in 1989. Then, the court authority decided that the control of Picasso’s estate belonged to him. Last month, he assigned the management of the estate to his daughter Paloma.
