The rectangular-shaped Picasso coin has a €500 face value and weighs
in at a hefty 1 kilogram of .999 fine silver. It features a portrait,
signature and paint brushes on one side, with an engraving of his
first Vallauris poster, produced in 1948, on the reverse. Only 500
coins will be produced in gem proof quality-each individually numbered
on the edge by the venerable Paris Mint. With an official issue price
of 1,350 euros. The Picasso commemorative is the latest issue in the
Paris Mint's Great Painters series.
The 1948 poster was the first of many that Picasso did for exhibitions
of the Vallauris Potters Association. He often used rust coloring in
these posters to evoke the texture and color of the famous clays of
the region--as he did for this whimsical bull design. These posters
helped launch Picasso as a successful poster artist.
Since the days of ancient Rome, the Riviera town Vallauris, near
Cannes in the south of France, has been known for its fine clay and
pottery. In 1946, Picasso attended an exhibition of pottery making in
Vallauris. After observing their potters at work, Picasso sat at a
borrowed bench, and enthusiastically created his first ceramic
figures. The infinite creative possibilities of ceramics that combined
drawing, painting and sculpture so excited Picasso that he returned
the next summer with sketches for new pieces, the first of many he was
to create over the next 27 years.
The issue price for the Picasso Silver Kilo Coin is $1,895 including a
custom presentation case and a certificate of authenticity.
