Museo Picasso poster

DodgerTown · September 14th, 2011, 09:01 AM

I came across this poster, and I can't really find anything about it. I'm not sure what year it's from, although I know there were 3 runs of a couple thousand a piece. It's really in great shape, and it's a great size, it's perfectly round. There's a green one and a pink one. I have the pink one. Can anyone tell me more about this? Or point me in the right direction to find out more about it? Thanks in advance.

If you are not sure of the date I guess you don't know that:

More to come : there is a problem in Luis Carlos Rodrigo's catalogue raisonné of the posters..
==============================
In the page linked above, Centaur art galleries reproduced, beside the pink image, that looks like the exact text with the exact arrangement of Luis Carlos Rodrigo's catalogue of the posters (Picasso in his posters, image and work-Arte ediciones SL 1992, page 1298)
EXCEPT that Rodrigo writes for the Format "61cm in diameter". So I don't know if these posters were printed on a larger rectangular sheet but I would be surprised and I guess that the Centaur's item is a late reproduction.
But the problem is elsewhere :
Rodrigo describes under the numer 628 the original print run from 1975 (page 1296). The text differs from the number 629 description, mainly in the name in front of "Printer", where we find : "Industria Madriguera, S.A. Barcelona". (The other differences between the two texts are only in the arrangement of the words)
Now, the case is clear : from the text, the print run of 1975 was made by Industria Madriguera. The print run of 1980 was made by Litografia Roses and the posters bear the text identifying the printer.
BUT
The photos are inverted!
In front of the number 628, page 1297 (print run of 1975), the photo shows a fine line of letters just above the street number 17 where we can read "Litografia Roses S.A...."
In front of the number 629, page 1299 (print run of 1980), the photo is like yours without text except the name of M.Aguirre on the right side (on both runs)
SO
I guess that you have an original from 1975 but the Picasso Museum of Barcelona only could confirm.
