Rare Pablo Picasso Embossment on Harpgaon Cloth from Chant Funèbre pour Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, 1976

Chant Funèbre pour Ignacio Sánchez Mejías (translated as Funeral Song for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías) is a powerful artistic and literary portfolio in tribute to Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, a Spanish bullfighter who tragically died after being gored during a bullfight in 1934. His death deeply impacted both the public and the intellectual community, including Pablo Picasso and the poet Federico García Lorca – who collaborated to create the work Chant Funèbre, which was published by Pierre de Tartas in 1976. This work by Picasso is an embossment on Harpgaon cloth from the Moulin Richard de Bas edition limited to only 30 in the edition. It has an embossed signature and measures at 14 ½ x 11 inches and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Size: 14 1/2 x 11 in.
