APPRAISER COMMENTS:

This is another print by Pablo Picasso produced during the late
1930s as he was first experimenting with the printing processes. It is
one of many depictions of Guernica created by Picasso, the most famous
of which is a mural originally displayed at the Spanish Pavilion off the
Paris Exposition in May 1937. Guernica was a little Basque village in
northern Spain that suffered atrocities and burned for three days on
behalf of Franco. The scenes of Guernica depicted by Picasso did not
represent the horror of Guernica in realist or romantic terms. Instead
he used jumbled and disjointed images that evoked more mystery than
anything. As for the Certificate of Authenticity, unfortunately we
cannot read it. However, we advise you to read it closely. There is no
way, regardless of what the certificate says, that we consider this
piece worth anywhere near what is claimed. Based on comparative data for
other Guernica prints recently sold, and considering the similarities
and differences for the condition, size, artistic merit, and age, we
have valued the subject piece as indicated.
