Between 1947 and 1971, Picasso designed and created a number of ceramic works, including plates, bowls, pitchers, and vases. Many of these pieces feature “La Corrida” designs, exemplifying Picasso’s lifelong interest in Spanish bullfighting. EverGreene was engaged by two private clients in 2017 and 2020 to carry out conservation treatments on their Picasso ceramic plates. Each had undergone accidental damage on two separate occasions. These particular plates are just two of 200 Corrida plates from 1953 and bear the characteristic stamp of the series on their reverse.
