Picasso’s Vollard Suite, Harry N. Abrams, 1977

A beautifully produced 1977 edition of Picasso’s Vollard Suite, published by the renowned art publisher Harry N. Abrams, Inc. with an introduction by noted art historian Hans Bolliger. This richly illustrated volume is devoted to one of Pablo Picasso’s greatest achievements in printmaking—the celebrated Vollard Suite, a remarkable cycle of one hundred etchings executed between 1930 and 1937 for legendary Parisian dealer Ambroise Vollard.

Illustrated throughout with high-quality reproductions, the book explores the complete suite, tracing Picasso’s extraordinary mastery of line as he moves effortlessly between themes of the artist and model, classical mythology, sculpture, the Minotaur, and portraiture. Considered among the defining graphic works of the twentieth century, the Vollard Suite remains one of the most important print series in the history of modern art.

Published by Harry N. Abrams in New York, with the English-language edition copyrighted jointly with Thames & Hudson Ltd., London, this sought-after volume was printed in Great Britain and reflects the exceptional production standards for which Abrams became internationally recognized. The elegant cream covers, featuring Picasso’s iconic continuous line drawings, make the book as visually compelling on a coffee table or library shelf as it is an invaluable reference for collectors and admirers of modern art.

An essential addition to any collection of Picasso literature, twentieth-century art, or museum-quality design books.
