"The Vollard Suite is Picasso's most important group of etchings. Made between 1930 and 1937, a period in which the artist became immersed in sculpture, the suite takes its name from Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939), the greatest avant-garde art dealer and print publisher in Paris of his day. This is the first substantial publication in over thirty years of Picasso's most important cycle of etchings, the Vollard suite, stunningly reproduced from specially commissioned new photography." -- Publisher information.
