What Happens After I Submit My Pablo Picasso?

After you send us photographs and basic information, we begin by identifying the exact Picasso work and determining which references are relevant to it.

Depending on the medium, our review may include the signature, edition or proof type, dimensions, paper or support, printer or publisher, Madoura markings, condition, provenance and catalogue raisonné information such as Zervos, Mourlot, Bloch, Baer or Alain Ramié.

Once the work is identified, we compare it with relevant recent sales, current private-market availability and collector demand for the same or closely related Picasso works.

If the artwork is one we are actively seeking, we may make a confidential direct purchase offer.

If you decide to sell, we can then coordinate the transaction, including inspection when necessary, payment, insurance, professional packing, pickup and fine-art transportation.

Ready to Have Your Pablo Picasso Evaluated?

If you own a Picasso painting, lithograph, linocut, ceramic, etching, drawing, sculpture or other artwork and are considering selling it, send us clear photographs and any information you have.

You do not need to know the title, catalogue number or exact edition before contacting us.

We can help identify the work, review the appropriate catalogue references, condition and provenance, examine relevant current market evidence, and determine whether it may be appropriate for a confidential direct purchase offer.

Why Sell Your Pablo Picasso With Us?

If you are considering selling a Picasso painting, print, ceramic, drawing or other artwork, we provide a confidential alternative to auction.

We evaluate the exact work using its medium, date, edition, condition, provenance, catalogue raisonné information, recent comparable sales and current collector demand.

For Picasso works we are actively seeking, we may make a direct purchase offer and coordinate payment, insurance, professional packing and fine-art transportation.

How Much Is My Pablo Picasso Worth?

The value of a Pablo Picasso depends on the exact artwork rather than the artist’s name alone. A painting, drawing, signed lithograph, color linocut, etching and Madoura ceramic can each occupy very different parts of the market.

Important valuation factors can include the medium, date, period, subject, catalogue raisonné reference, edition or proof type, signature, condition, provenance, rarity, exhibition history, recent comparable sales and current collector demand.

The strongest valuation comparisons are usually sales of the same work or closely related examples rather than broad averages for Picasso as an artist.

Picasso Ceramics We Evaluate

We evaluate original Picasso ceramics produced with the Madoura workshop, including plates, bowls, pitchers, vases, plaques and sculptural ceramic forms.

For Picasso ceramics, identifying the exact work can involve the form, dimensions, decoration, edition, stamps and the corresponding Alain Ramié catalogue number, commonly called an A.R. number.

Condition is also important. Chips, cracks, glaze loss, restoration and repairs can all affect market value.

Picasso Artwork Identification

We help identify paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics and sculpture using the exact work, medium, dimensions, signature, edition, stamps and documentation.

Catalogue Raisonné Research

Depending on the medium, references such as Zervos, Mourlot, Bloch, Baer and Alain Ramié can help identify documented Picasso works.

Current Market Valuation

We review condition, provenance, rarity, recent comparable sales and current collector demand.

Prints, Ceramics & Paintings

Picasso worked across painting, drawing, lithography, linocut, etching, ceramics and sculpture, and each category can occupy a different market.

Confidential Direct Purchase

For Picasso works we are actively seeking, we may make a confidential direct purchase offer.

Insured Fine-Art Transport

For completed acquisitions, we can coordinate professional packing, insurance and transportation.

What Kind of Pablo Picasso Do You Own?

We evaluate a wide range of Pablo Picasso artworks, including paintings, drawings, gouaches, watercolors, lithographs, linocuts, etchings, aquatints, ceramics, sculpture, complete print suites and other unique or editioned works.

Important identifying details can include the title, date, medium, dimensions, signature, edition number, proof designation, printer, publisher, workshop stamps, provenance and catalogue raisonné reference.

If you are not sure exactly what you own, send us clear photographs of the front and back of the artwork, including signatures, edition numbers, labels, stamps or other documentation.

Picasso Catalogue Raisonné References by Medium

Different types of Pablo Picasso artworks are researched using different scholarly references.

For example:

Paintings and drawings: Zervos and other scholarly catalogues
Lithographs: Mourlot and Bloch
Linocuts: Bloch and Baer
Ceramics: Alain Ramié, commonly identified by A.R. number

Correctly matching the physical artwork to the appropriate catalogue information can help establish the exact work, edition, date, medium and publication history.

How Do I Research Whether My Picasso Is Original?

Researching a Picasso depends heavily on the medium. A painting, lithograph, linocut, ceramic and etching each require different identifying information and catalogue references.

Important details may include the medium, dimensions, signature, edition, paper, workshop stamps, printer, publisher, provenance and catalogue raisonné reference.

For ceramics, the form, stamps and Alain Ramié reference can be particularly important. For prints, Mourlot, Bloch and Baer references may help identify the exact edition.

If you are unsure what you own, send photographs of the front, reverse, signature, edition information, labels, stamps and documentation so we can begin researching the work.

Should I Sell My Picasso Privately or at Auction?

Both private sale and auction can be appropriate depending on the artwork.

Auction can provide broad exposure for rare or highly desirable Picasso paintings, drawings, prints and ceramics that may attract competitive bidding. However, auction can also involve estimates, reserves, scheduled sale dates, seller-related costs and the possibility that a work does not sell.

A direct private sale can offer greater discretion, more control over timing and a more predictable transaction.

Before deciding how to sell your Picasso, identify the exact work and review its medium, date, catalogue information, condition, provenance, recent comparable sales and current collector demand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Pablo Picasso Art

Where can I sell a Pablo Picasso artwork?

You can sell a Pablo Picasso through a specialist gallery, private dealer, auction house or other established art-market professional. The best option depends on the exact work, medium, period, condition, provenance and current collector demand. We evaluate Picasso paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics, sculpture and other works individually and may make a confidential direct purchase offer for works we are actively acquiring.

Do you buy Picasso lithographs directly?

Yes. We purchase Pablo Picasso lithographs and other original prints directly when they fit our current acquisition interests. We review the exact work, including its title, edition, signature, condition, provenance, printer or publisher information, relevant catalogue raisonné references and recent comparable sales. If appropriate, we may provide a confidential direct purchase offer without requiring an auction consignment.

Can you value my Picasso from photographs?

In many cases, clear photographs are enough for us to begin evaluating a Pablo Picasso artwork. Send images of the front and back, along with close-ups of the signature, edition number, stamps, labels and any documentation. Information such as dimensions, medium, provenance and catalogue references can also help us identify the exact work and assess its current market value.

How do I identify a Picasso ceramic?

Picasso ceramics can be researched using the form, dimensions, decoration, edition information, workshop stamps, inscriptions and catalogue raisonné references. Many documented ceramics were produced with the Madoura workshop, and the reverse or underside can contain useful identifying information. Clear photographs of the front, back, base, stamps and any labels can help determine the exact work.

What does an A.R. number mean on a Picasso ceramic?

An A.R. number is a reference to the Alain Ramié catalogue raisonné of Picasso ceramics. It is commonly used to identify a documented ceramic work and can help establish details such as the title, form, date, dimensions, edition and decoration. An A.R. number helps identify the documented work, but the physical ceramic should still correspond with the recorded specifications.

How do I know if my Picasso print is original?

An original Picasso print should be evaluated using more than a signature or edition number. Important details can include the printing technique, paper, dimensions, edition structure, printer, publisher, provenance and relevant catalogue raisonné references such as Mourlot, Bloch or Baer. The physical work should correspond with the documented edition before it is described as an original Picasso print.
