Roseberys' Prints & Multiples sale this April will bring to the market an impressive selection of works by celebrated artists, such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, David Hockney, Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Banksy, which span over several decades, offering a broad range of styles and mediums.
Undoubtedly the highlight of our sale, we present a remarkable print by Pablo Picasso from 1949, titled ‘Tête de Jeune Fille’ (Lot 23). This beautiful and thoughtful lithograph was drawn with brush and scraper in black ink to portray the head of a young girl, and is a particularly rare work, only from an edition of 50, plus 5 artist's proofs.

This auction will, once again, feature a strong collection of Andy Warhol prints. Starting the section with an example of the ‘Tattooed Woman Holding a Rose’ (Lot 158), this delicate lithograph is indicative of the artist’s early career, who used the print as a calling card. This is followed by two colourful screenprints titled ‘Peaches’, from the Space Fruit Series, 1979 (Lot 160) and ‘Committee 2000’ (Lot 159) from 1982. Both are signed, and the first is from an edition of 150, accompanied by the Warhol copyright and authentication board stamps to the reverse.
