An exceptional and rare pochoir print by Pablo Picasso entitled ‘Tete’ Homme, 1948’ (Lot 73) will be available in the upcoming Prints & Multiples sale with an estimate of £7-10,000. This print heads an impressive selection of Picasso prints. Two lithographs by Picasso will go under the hammer, one from 1953, ‘La Famille’, and ‘Etude de Profils’, from 1948. Roseberys will also present an elegant Matisse lithograph ‘Hindoue a la jupe’ from 1929, (£25,000-£35,000) which is a rare test print outside the edition. It is in great condition for its age and has an unusual black and gilt Spanish style carved frame. The sale also includes one of 100 signed Andy Warhol ‘Grande Passion’ prints, an advertisement for a now discontinued drink for summer days. The bright colours and design are very evocative!
