Lot 87 | Picasso, Pablo—Zervos, Christian | Picasso's catalogue raisonné in 34 volumes
Picasso, Pablo—Zervos, Christian
Pablo Picasso 1881-1973, Catalogue raisonné. Paris: Editions Cahiers d'Art, 1957-1978

34 volumes (with vol. 2 in 2 parts) (323 x 248 mm). Complete set, each volume containing photographic reproductions of the artist's oeuvre. Original glassine wrappers; very small holes and tears, occasional spots. Slipcases.

Limited edition, number 67 of 500. Published in Paris by Editions Cahiers d'Art between 1957 and 1978.

Zervos first met Picasso in Paris. In 1926 Zervos founded the publishing house Cahiers d'Art and 16 years later Picasso approved his wish to create as close to an exhaustive catalogue raisonné of the artist's paintings and drawings as possible. Picasso was an enormously prolific creator—when he died there were more than 45,000 unsold works in his estate. Published between 1942 and 1978, extending to thirty-four volumes, Zervos's work reproduces over 16,000 works and covers Picasso's lifetime. It remains the most comprehensive record of Picasso's work.
