I have confirmed that the work was framed when it came into our care, this would have been overseen by Marina (and potentially Krugier) and from what we have seen (with all the works) was carefully conducted. Regarding the acid-free question, our paper restorer is due in next Tuesday and I can ask her to glance at the work to confirm that all is fine.

Provenance

Estate of the artist

Marina Picasso (the artist’s granddaughter; acquired from the above)


“The goal of the papier collé was to show that different materials can enter into a composition to become, in the picture, a reality, able to compete with nature. We’ve tried to dispense with trompe-l’oeil so as to discover trompe-l’esprit” (Picasso). Picasso established his own, handy collection of paper cut-outs in the shape of pipes, drinking glasses, cups, pears, lightbulbs and other everyday items, which he could collage into cubist café scenes and related still-life compositions, fixing them with dress-making pins, so he could always detach and experimentally reposition them. ‘Pipe Découpé’ has pin-holes in the bowl of the pipe, clearly showing how it was once attached to a paper or canvas support. It may be read as a conventional representation of a pipe, with two apertures and shading along the stem that creates a three-dimensional, sculptural quality. Its cut-out silhouette also figuratively represents a pipe, but the angle of the mouth aperture does not correspond to the conventions of single-point perspective, and it contrasts with the angle at which the bowl of the pipe is viewed. This apparently playful item thus materialises the precepts of cubism, providing simultaneously two different views of a single object, contradicting laws of single-point perspective that had been applied in Western European painting since the early 15th century.
