A tiny sketchbook dated March 1924 was part of a cache of artworks stolen from Picasso’s studio in 1970, by his electrician Pierre le Guennec. This hoard remained undiscovered for thirty years, until in 2022 some of them were put up for auction at Sotheby’s by Picasso’s heirs, including a pocket sketchbook. The dramatic story of how these artworks were recovered and the importance of the sketchbook in terms of foreshadowing Picasso’s artistic thoughts and direction, is expertly analysed in a new book. This forms part of a package in a linen-bound clamshell box, with a version of the sketchbook also bound in linen, as a limited edition for art lovers and collectors worldwide.
