  • A COMPLETE SET OF PICASSO SILVER PLATES

    Picasso's silver plates.

    Picasso’s silver plates.

    A set of 24 silver plates by Picasso will come up at Sotheby’s Boundless: Contemporary Art sale in Hong Kong on June 23. Picasso created a large volume of ceramics and crockery in numbered editions, but only crafted silver plates in 24 designs throughout his entire oeuvre.  This is the first time a complete set has appeared at any auction. It is estimated at $1.55-2.33 million. Conceived between 1956 and 1967, the plates were designed by Picasso together with French silversmith François Hugo, then cast by Hugo and his son Pierre Hugo on private request by individuals. All 20 editions of each plate have been sold out for years.
