Plate (France)

This is a plate. It was designed by Pablo Picasso. It is dated ca. 1952 and we acquired it in 2007. Its medium is glazed earthenware. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.

I have been drawn to the work of Picasso for as long as I can remember. Obviously everyone is familiar with his paintings, but then I discovered his ceramics which are equally stunning and a tad more affordable.

It is credited Bequest of Margaret McCormack Sokol.
