Description from the seller

ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH - Vintage (1966) - Artist print on silver gelatin/baryt paper - on the back, artist's stamp and handwritten notes: negative number - title - year and location of the photograph - signed by the photographer - collector's copy
Photographer Hubertus Hierl (*1940) was able to photograph Pablo Picasso with Picasso's consent during a bullfight in Fréjus (Southern France - August 7, 1966). A stroke of luck for the young photographer. The entire series of over 100 portraits of Picasso shows Picasso in an environment that was one of his major themes throughout his life: bullfighting.
Werner Spies, Picasso expert and former director of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, writes in the book "Picasso at the Bullfight": "The photographs by Hubertus Hierl show anticipation, tension and fear... they show what Picasso sees and feels."

Provenance: directly from the artist's archive — authenticity is guaranteed.
