Artist jeweler Pablo Picasso
Silver dish, created by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso was stolen during the Festival of Contemporary Art in Miami “Art Basel” on 5 December 2014. The estimated value of the stolen artifact is 85 thousand dollars. In fact, the stolen dish called Visage aux mains is part of a series of 20 silver objects created by Picasso in 1956. Meanwhile, few people remember the fact that Pablo Picasso was a jeweler who had worked in this direction of art. Maybe because comparing to his paintings, these jewelry artworks looked not bright enough. Or just because their price never reached that height as for his paintings.
Noteworthy, the public saw several intricate works of the great artist only in 1998. In fact, about the existence of these jewels, kept in the house of Dora Maar, beloved of Pablo Picasso for many years, very few people knew. And jewelry artworks were up for auction only a year after her death.
