Lady: ‘We had no idea it was a Picasso’ Plate: Big Bold Letters: ‘Picasso’

[@bighands69]

If you seen picasso on a plate or a dish would you really think much of it. I know somebody who had a very rare gold coin sitting up in a cupboard and I tried to convince the person that it was extremely valuable and they wanted to give it away to a stranger and it took a lot of effort for me to convince the person not to do so. Most people will not believe what they have is something of value especially if it is old or has been laying around. Now personally cannot stand modern art.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

I mean it couldn’t be more instantly recognized as at the very least a Picasso imitation. True genius is having your style recognized instantly by everyone on earth….except for this woman.

[@californiabobby3858]

At no point during the initial purchase did she see the words "Picasso" and numbers written next to it and think.....this....this might be a picasso

[@DTR89]

Let'sPlay -- It's a random plate she bought from a random gallery by a random artist for "$50-100." Picasso had not yet made a name for himself back then... no one would be using the terminology "this might be a Picasso." Not that difficult to understand...

[@georgekay3336]

@@DTR89 My guy, Picasso was extremely famous in the 50's

[@DTR89]

George Kay -- Famous among art circles, and that's all. He didn't reach worldwide pop cultural fame until after death. Therefore no one in the 1950s, particularly an average lady, would've referred to his work as "a Picasso" like the original commenter implied. That lingo (using last name only) came way later, my guy.

They took its value when they restored it. The grease was its enduring legacy.

[@Wafflinson]

lol no. Enameled art's value is not based on its patina as it is for furniture and some metalwork. Paintings for example go up in value significantly when restored and cleaned.

[@tomfurgas2844]

The appraiser was quite right to point out that she bought it because she liked it. In other words, not because she thought it was by a famous artist.

[@suziperret468]

Picasso really knew how to make every stroke count.

[@stevemccarty6384]

Picasso was so famous that he could make his own money. If he bought something he'd take a memo pad from his pocket and sign his name on it. It was worth money and he could buy things with his signature. I tried it once. Didn't work.

Art isn’t meant to be preserved perfectly and kept in pristine condition. Art is supposed to be enjoyed by anyone in any way possible. If this woman and her family found enjoyment out of this piece by hanging it over the stove, then I’m sure Picasso would be happy.

[@alkh3myst]

This reminds me of an Alexander Calder sculpture that had been sitting in a mall in Lake Grove, NY, on Long Island for so long, it's origin had been forgotten. The $25 million sculpture, the "Janey-Waney", was nearly sold for scrap, until someone recognized it.

[@DiamondCalibre]

Gene Ladner I'm sure that's the point. He teamed up with a mass(ish) producer to make limited edition pieces so the less well off who appreciated his style could own a boiled down Picasso and not break the bank. I mean even today, 10,000-15,000 is pennies compared to the price of a flagship Picasso painting/piece.

[@robinholbrook6576]

I’m not sure the appraiser covered all possibilities about the plate. There were a LOT of studio pieces made for mass production. Picasso would do a prototype and apprentices would recreate the piece numerous times. Then the master would come in and sign the piece. I’m not sure how multiples of this plate were run, however. Takes a real expert I guess!

Picasso always looks like the stuff kids make in middle school fooling around....then he signs his name and all the rich people go WOW!

[@Paula_Shelton]

I had a similar opinion until I saw his art in n person at the Art Institute in Chicago. It’s completely different in person and you really get a sense of his range as an artist, the movement he achieved, the emotional depth. So much of his more iconic stuff is on the humorous side like this plate, but there is so much more to him that I never knew until I saw his work. I went from not liking him at all to being a huge fan in a few hours.

[@sissyrayself7508]

Exactly. I call Picasso Art.. Stupid people at. If stupid people want to buy it..let them. There are plenty of stupid people with money to throw at stupud people art.

[@tomfurgas2844]

The simplicity of the drawing on this plate is deceptive. At a casual glance it looks easy and obvious, but it took Picasso a lifetime to be able to distill his draftsmanship genius into a few lines to make images that are compelling and expressive.

[@andywitt5860]

You should Google his portraits. He was a capable artist. Not liking the style is fine, we all have our own tastes, but the breadth of his work is important and shows his skill. If all you think of for Picasso is his later surrealism, I think you're missing his best work earlier in his career. But again, that's my taste.

[@MrCrowebobby]

It's not what it is, but who it's by. Picasso could paint great natural-looking pictures when he was 14. This what he wanted to do, not just what he "could" do.
