Toros

Picasso had a lifelong obsession with the Spanish bullfight

This served as a profound metaphor for the human condition, channeling themes of raw power, tragedy, and cultural identity. For Picasso, the bull was not merely a subject but a personal symbol, at times representing the artist himself, and at others, a representation of brute force or sacrificial suffering. This fixation is immortalized in several landmark limited-edition releases, offered for sale below,  that remain highly coveted by Picasso collectors today.

Toros y Toreros (1961):

A magnificent collaboration with bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín, featuring a series of lithographs after sketches that capture the fluid, kinetic energy of the ring and cultural touchstones.

Toros with Pablo Neruda (1960):

A rare artistic intersection where Picasso’s stark imagery of the bull meets the evocative poetry of Neruda, resulting in a powerful portfolio of fifteen lithographs with pochoir after original ink washes, limited to just 500 sets.
