Michelle McMullen, Specialist, Impressionist and Modern Art, commented: “The Picasso Ceramics sale  totalled over £2.8 million demonstrating the continued strength of the market for Picasso editions, which are accessible and attractive to new collectors as well as seasoned buyers. The sale was 100 per cent sold by lot and more than doubled the pre-sale low estimate, which is an exceptional result.It follows the hugely successful 2012 Madoura sale and paves the way for an annual sale of Picasso Ceramics. Bidders competed fiercely for the top lots in a packed saleroom and there was particularly strong bidding from across Europe and the US. This sale featured beautiful examples of Picasso editions, many of which were early pieces made close to the time of conception. The combination of beauty and age were key reasons for their desirability. We look forward to the next Picasso Ceramics sale in 2014.”
