Pablo Picasso, original lithographic poster

Original lithographic poster from 1967.

The motif featured on the 1967 Grosvenor Gallery exhibition poster is an adaptation of Picasso's iconic "Harlequin" (or Clown) imagery, heavily drawing from his lifelong fascination with the Commedia dell'Arte.

The "Picasso Posters 1939–1966" exhibition held at London's Grosvenor Gallery from January 3 to January 21, 1967, was a landmark event showcasing Pablo Picasso's prolific output in graphic and poster design.

The exhibition strictly focused on the posters Picasso created over a nearly 30-years, highlighting his mastery of promotional art, lithography, and linocuts. Many of the designs featured on display originally advertised his own ceramic exhibitions in Vallauris, peace movement events, or local bullfights.

Printed in 900 copies. Only 150 copies were specifically printed with the London gallery's text and dates (January 3–21, 1967) along the bottom.

Framed with a vintage frame and placed on a rosy background.

H 86 x W 59 cm.
