Product description
Limited edition wool rug produced by Desso, Netherlands, after Pablo Picasso’s 1964 work “Tête d’Homme”. Manufactured in 1996 under official license from the Succession Picasso, the rug was issued in a limited edition of 500 examples. This example is individually numbered 90/500. Executed in 100% pure new wool, the design translates Picasso’s expressive portrait into a richly textured textile surface. Strong areas of black, red, yellow, green and blue are set against a warm off-white ground, preserving the graphic power of the original composition while giving it a distinctly tactile presence. This example is preserved in exceptional collectible condition. It was never used as a floor rug and was displayed exclusively on the wall. The condition is particularly noteworthy: no moth damage no missing areas no pressure marks no pile loss no edge damage no fading or surface wear. The colours remain strong and the pile is exceptionally well preserved. The reverse retains the original Desso manufacturer’s label, identifying the work as: Title: Tête d’Homme Original artwork: 1964 Design number: 208012-112 Material: 100% Pure New Wool Size: 90 × 110 cm Manufacturer: Desso, Netherlands License: Succession Picasso ’96 Edition: No. 90/500. Also included are the original Picasso-branded storage / transport tube and the separate original leather Picasso label, a rare surviving accessory that is often missing from examples on the secondary market. The combination of low individual edition number, exceptional preservation and unusually complete original accessories makes this a particularly desirable collector’s example. Artist: after Pablo Picasso Manufacturer: Desso Title: Tête d’Homme Year: 1996 Original painting: 1964 Edition: 90/500 Material: 100% pure new wool Dimensions: 90 × 110 cm Origin: Netherlands Condition: exceptional collectible condition; wall-displayed only, never used on the floor
