Featured PABLO PICASSO's LES DEUX FRERES - S.P.A.D.E.M. NY 1980 PRINTED IN FRANCE - IS THIS RARE?

A customer at one of my yard sales/estate sales found this in a stack of prints I have. When she asked I told her I didn't know how much I wanted.

So later I googled - Pablo Picasso les deux freres PRINT, Editions de la Reunion des Musees Nationaux a Paris for the World Treasure Society, Vermont, USA, S.P.A.D.E.M. Vaga New York 1980. Printed in France - and I saw several; from $400 - $795(!) BUT, all of them had text on the ary - they look like a framed magazine cover!

Do I have something special here - or cheaper?

Thanks for any help; I appreciate it.


THIS IS THE ONE I KEEP FINDING BELOW

 

All I can translate is that’s it’s an edition of 5,000 printed on Arches vellum stock in 1980.

 

I don't know about your print, yet, but I did learn something interesting while searching...I did not know that Picasso's full name was actually:

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso?

If he actually signed his art with that name, there wouldn't be any room for the subject matter.

I see it from hundreds of dollars, like flipper's link, down to $50 OBO on ebay - a very big range. The one on ebay is numbered. I don't see that yours (xxxx/5000). Is it there, but faint? One site mentioned that the work is no longer under copyright in the USA since it was first published on or before 1923.

 

No min has the same 5,000 exemplaries numerotes! in txt beneath it - THANK YOU! glad I didn't sell it (I sold her 1 Picasso poster/print for $50 just to have some money (eBay has slowed way down!) & she is texting me every day asking me to please sell her the other 2 Picasso prints I have for same price)

 

What does it say in the bottom left corner? The example you posted to compare it to, does not have any writing there.

 

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso - The y before Picasso means and in spanish so his name is all that - And Picasso - at the end? Wow

 

Mine or the RoGallery one? - I'll go check mine now

 

Yours appears to have writing

The one on the link I sent you also has writing 38**/5000

 

I have a lot of vintage posters and it's kind of a tough category to gauge. I have movie posters so it's a little easier than what you have. I think you should definitely talk to a specialist. And whenever you have a buyer so anxious, you know you have something valuable ha.

 

Ok, I see the number now in the bottom left corner, but barely visible in your photo. So, the one on ebay at $50 was yours? If so, then it sounds like your buyer is eager to get another fantastic deal.

 

flipper! Thank you for telling me to look - it is in pencil I think & was so light I didn't even notice it before! Mine is #1010/5000!

 

So, you see? You have the GOOD one! The one on the gallery link is in the 3000s and they are asking $750! Do not give it away, so to speak.

 

Mine isn't on eBay - it was someone who came by from FB marketplace

 

Scroll up above smallaxe's comment for the link to the gallery one.

Never mind

His father's surname was Ruiz and his mother's surname was Picasso. Interestingly... He chose to be known by his mother's surname and not his father's.

Where do they come up with high prices when you can one for 50.00 and another one for 115.00?

 

The one I found must be including the cost of framing it so nicely, then.
