PICASSO'S EROTIC GRAVURES by AVANT GARDE MAGAZINE No.8. (Price $50.00) A magazine notable for the graphic and logogram design. The magazine had 14 issues and was published from Jan. 1968 to July 1971. Avant Garde had a modest circulation but was extremely popular in the creative circles, including New York's advertising and editorial art directors. The unsigned Picasso proofs of the engravings were first shown at the Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris. The market price of the final signed original editions, limited to fifty each, is speculatively estimated at ten million dollars. The magazine is in very good condition for its age. The inside pages being of a thick quality stock have yellowed over time.
