Words From Picasso Calligraphed Frames
Valentine Herrenschmidt works in metal wire the way a calligrapher works in ink, coaxing line into gesture, word into form. Her sculptures carry the energy of haniting at its most expressive, each curve a considered mark rather than a mechanical trace.
For this collection, Herrenschmidt turned to a lifelong admiration. As a devoted student of Picasso's legacy, she sought direct access to his words, meeting with Claude Picasso, the artist's only surviving son and steward of the Picasso Administration. From that archive came five quotes, each rendered in Herrenschmidt's signature wire calligraphy and set within a frame of beech wood.
- Five distinct compositions, each based on an original Picasso quote
- Metal wire calligraphy, handmade in the artist's Paris studio
- Beech wood frames
- Individually numbered and signed by Valentine Herrenschmidt
- Carries the official seal of the Picasso Administration
The result sits at the intersection of sculpture, typography, and homage - a rare object that carries two authorial presences at once.
