Pablo Picasso, For Roby, from The Age of the Sun, 1950

By Pablo Picasso

Located in Southampton, NY

This exquisite engraving by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Pour Roby (For Roby), from L’Age de Soleil (The Age of the Sun), originates from the 1950 edition published by Aux Depens de L’Auteur, Paris, under the direction of Robert-J. Godet, Paris; printed by Atelier Lacouriere-Frelaut, Paris, under the direction of Georges Leblanc, Paris, July 21, 1950. This compelling composition reflects Picasso’s mastery of intaglio technique, where incisive line and expressive distortion converge to translate poetic and symbolic subject matter into a powerful and evocative graphic language. Executed as an engraving on velin du Marais paper, this work measures 11.125 x 9.125 inches (28.26 x 23.18 cm). Signed in reverse in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The impression exemplifies the technical excellence and material sensitivity characteristic of Atelier Lacouriere-Frelaut’s celebrated editions. Artwork Details: Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) Title: Pour Roby (For Roby), from L’Age de Soleil (The Age of the Sun) Medium: Engraving on velin du Marais paper Dimensions: 11.125 x 9.125 inches (28.26 x 23.18 cm) Inscription: Signed in reverse in the plate and unnumbered as issued Date: 1950 Publisher: Aux Depens de L’Auteur, Paris Printer: Atelier Lacouriere-Frelaut, Paris Catalogue raisonne references: Bloch, Georges. Pablo Picasso: Catalogue of the Printed Graphic Work 1904–1967. Kornfeld & Klipstein, 1968, illustration 680; Cramer, Patrick. Pablo Picasso, The Illustrated Books: Catalogue Raisonne. Patrick Cramer, 1983, illustration 57. Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio L’Age de Soleil (The Age of the Sun), 1950 Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), This edition, constituting the original edition of the the work, has been limited to MCXIV examples, as follows: IV nominative examples on Arches, hand reserved for collaborators of the work; X examples on hand-made Arches with five states in black and color of the engraving, marked from A to J; C examples on velin du Marais with the black state of the engraving and numbered from I to C; M examples on velin including the rendering of the engraving and numbered from I to M. Printing was finished on July 21, 1950, under the direction of the author, on the presses of E. Durand, master printer in Paris for typography, and G. Leblanc, master engraver in Paris for engraving. About the Publication: L’Age de Soleil (The Age of the Sun), published in Paris in 1950 by Aux Depens de L’Auteur under the direction of Robert-J. Godet, is a distinguished illustrated edition that reflects Pablo Picasso’s continued engagement with poetic text, symbolic imagery, and the livre d’artiste tradition in the postwar period. Conceived as a highly refined collaboration between artist, author, printer, and engraver, the publication integrates original engravings by Picasso with a carefully structured typographic program executed by master printers in Paris. The edition was produced in multiple tiers on fine papers including Arches, velin du Marais, and velin, with select examples featuring additional states and variations of the engravings, demonstrating the technical and aesthetic ambitions of the project. Printed under the direction of Georges Leblanc for the engraving and E. Durand for typography, the publication exemplifies the highest standards of mid twentieth century French printmaking. Through its synthesis of text and image, L’Age de Soleil stands as an important example of Picasso’s contributions to illustrated editions, embodying his ability to translate poetic and symbolic themes into a compelling visual language while maintaining exceptional technical precision. About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision revolutionized modern art and defined the visual language of the 20th century. A child prodigy from Malaga, Spain, Picasso’s career spanned more than seven decades and encompassed an astonishing range of styles and innovations—from the melancholic Blue and romantic Rose periods to his pioneering invention of Cubism with Georges Braque, which shattered conventional notions of perspective and form. Influenced by the bold expressiveness of El Greco, the structure of Cezanne, and the vitality of African and Iberian sculpture, Picasso became a central figure of the Paris avant-garde, working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His insatiable experimentation extended across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, forever expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. A master of reinvention, Picasso profoundly shaped generations of artists who followed—from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons and Banksy—cementing his status as a timeless cultural icon whose works remain among the most sought after worldwide. His landmark painting Les Femmes d’Alger (Version “O”) achieved a record-breaking sale of $179,365,000 at Christie’s, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picasso’s enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.

'Die Architektur' (Architecture) — Bauhaus Modernism

By Lyonel Feininger

Located in Myrtle Beach, SC

Lyonel Feininger, 'Die Architektur' (Architecture), also 'Stadtbild' (Cityscape), woodcut, edition proofs only in 1920; 50 in 1921. Prasse W 232. Signed in pencil. A fine, black impression, on off-white Japan, with full margins (1 1/4 to 2 1/8 inches), in excellent condition. Matted to museum standards, unframed. Image size 6 x 8 7/8 inches (152 x 229 mm); sheet size 9 1/2 x 11 7/8 inches (241 x 302 mm). No. 11 of the portfolio 'Zwolf Holzschnitte von Lyonel Feininger', 1921. Provenance: Peter Deitsch collection; exhibited Weimar Museum, 1968. Impressions of this work are in the permanent collection of: Busch-Reisinger Museum (Cambridge, Mass.), Bauhaus-Archiv (Germany), Hamburger Kunsthalie (Germany), Pfaizische Landesgewerbeanstalt (Germany), Kaiser Wilhelm Museum (Germany), Staatliche Graphische Sammlung (Germany), Philadelphia Museum of Art. ABOUT THE ARTIST Lyonel Feininger was born in New York City into a musical family—his father was a violinist and composer, his mother was a singer and pianist. He studied violin with his father, and by the age of 12, he was performing in public, but he also drew incessantly, most notably the steamboats and sailing ships on the Hudson and East Rivers, and the landscape around Sharon, Conn., where he spent time on a farm owned by a family friend. At the age of 16 he left New York to study music and art in Germany, from where his parents emigrated. Drawn more to the visual arts, he attended schools in Hamburg, Berlin, and Paris from 1887 to 1892. After completing his studies, Feininger began his artistic career as a cartoonist and illustrator, his originality leading him to great success. In 1906, after working for a dozen years in Germany, he was offered a job as a cartoonist at the Chicago Tribune, the largest circulation newspaper in the Midwest. He worked there for a year, inventing what became the standard design for the comic strip: in the words of John Carlin, “an overall pattern. . . that allowed the page to be read both as a series of elements one after the other, like language and as a group of juxtaposed images, like visual art.” His originality did not end there: he went on to become one of the great abstract painters. Like Kandinsky, music was his model, but Kandinsky only knew music from the outside—as a listener (inspired initially by Wagner, then by Schoenberg)—while Feininger knew it from the inside. He lived in Paris from 1906 to 1908, during which time he met and was influenced by the work of progressive painters Robert Delaunay and Jules Pascin, as well as that of Paul Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh. He began painting full-time, developing his distinctive Iyrical style based on Cubist and Expressionist idioms and a concern for the emotive qualities of light and color. He exhibited with the Der Blaue Reiter group in 1913, and in 1917, he had his first solo exhibition at Galerie Der Sturm in Berlin. One year after his solo exhibition, in 1918, Feininger began making woodcuts. He became enamored with the medium, producing an impressive 117 in his first year of exploring the printmaking medium. In 1919 at the invitation of the architect Walter Gropius, he was appointed the first master at the newly formed Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar. His woodcut of a cathedral...

Whether growing your current fine art collection or taking the first steps on that journey, you will find an extensive range of original photography, drawings, prints, sculptures, paintings and more on 1stDibs.

Visual art is among the oldest forms of expression, and it has been evolving for centuries. Beautiful objects can provide a window to the past or insight into our current time. Art collecting enhances daily life through the presence of meaningful work. It displays an appreciation for culture, whether a print by Elizabeth Catlett channeling social change or a narrative quilt by Faith Ringgold.

Contemporary art has lured more initiates to collecting than almost any other category, with notable artists including Yayoi Kusama, Marc Chagall, Kehinde Wiley and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Navigating the waiting lists for the next Marlene Dumas, Jeff Koons or Jasper Johns has become competitive.

When you’re living with art, particularly as people more often work from home and enjoy their spaces, it’s important to choose art that resonates with you. While the richness of art with its many movements, styles and histories can be overwhelming, the key is to identify what is appealing and inspiring. Artwork can play with the surrounding color of a room, creating a layered approach. The dynamic shapes and sizes of sculptures can set different moods, such as a bronze by Miguel Guía on a mantel or an Alexander Calder mobile suspended over a table. A wall of art can evoke emotions in an interior while showing off your tastes and interests. A salon-style wall mixing eclectic pieces like landscape paintings with charcoal drawings is a unique way to transform a space and show off a collection.

For art meditating on the subconscious, investigate Surrealists like Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí. Explore Pop art and its leading artists such as Andy Warhol, Rosalyn Drexler and Keith Haring for bright and bold colors. Not only did these artists question art itself, but also how we perceive society. Similarly, 20th-century photography and abstract painting reconsidered the intent of art.

Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner and Color Field artists including Sam Gilliam broke from conventional ideas of painting, while Op artists such as Yaacov Agam embraced visual trickery and kinetic movement. Novel visuals are also integral to contemporary work influenced by street art, such as sculptures and prints by KAWS.

Realist portraiture is a global tradition reflecting on what makes us human. This is reflected in the work of Slim Aarons, an American photographer whose images are at once candid and polished and appeared in Holiday magazine and elsewhere. Innovative artists Mickalene Thomas and Kerry James Marshall are now offering new perspectives on the form.

Collecting art is a rewarding, lifelong pursuit that can help connect you with the creative ways historic, modern and contemporary artists have engaged with the world. For more tips on piecing together an art collection, see our guide to buying and displaying art.
