- Lot Description
Pablo Picasso (Spanish/French, 1881-1973). "Chouette" (Owl) ceramic vase, 1969. Edition 135/250. Reference: Alain Ramie Picasso Catalogue no. 604. Incised "EDITION PICASSO", "MADOURA" and edition number "135/250" as well as "EDITION PICASSO" and "MADOURA PLEIN FEU" stamps on raised applied pieces of clay on the underside. An exquisite Picasso "Chouette" (Owl) ceramic vase consistent with Alain Ramie's catalogue raisonne no. 604 - conceived in 1969 and executed in an edition of 250. The beautiful owl vessel was partially glazed and painted in hues of black, brown, and white. What's more the surface was carved so as to accentuate the owl's eyes and plumage, replete with repeated half moon shaped feathers. Finally, "EDITION PICASSO 135/250 MADOURA" is incised on the underside and the "MADOURA PLEIN FEU" and "EDITION PICASSO" stamps on raised pieces of clay are attached to the interior walls of the foot. Size: 11.2" H (28.4 cm)
Picasso was immensely fond of owls. Known for their wisdom and reliable vigilance, feathery owls appeared in virtually every medium Picasso touched. What's more, the artist loved to surround himself with his nocturnal friends; he even adopted an injured owlet that he kept as a pet in his studio!
Pablo Picasso collaborated with the Madoura pottery studio to create ceramic works for almost 25 years. Georges and Suzanne Ramie founded the Madoura Pottery studio in Vallauris, France. The Ramies are probably best known for their wonderful collaborations with Picasso which resulted in an impressive oeuvre of Picasso ceramics. The Madoura pottery studio (Madoura being an acronym for MAison + DOUly (Suzanne’s maiden name) + Ramie) opened in an abandoned factory building on April 29th, 1938. Picasso first discovered the Madoura workshop in 1946 and from then on maintained a 24-year collaboration, creating works inspired by his sketches.
Reference: No. 604 in Alain Ramie. "Picasso: Catalogue of the Edited Ceramic Works 1947-1971" published by Alan Wofsy Fine Arts, 1988.
