The Burials of Picasso

Alan met with Picasso in Paris at La Rotonde in Montmartre, Paris.  He was intrigued with the man and his art.  This deep impression is visible in much of Alan's work.

In April 1973, when word of Picasso's death reached Alan, he locked himself in this studio in Clinton, Connecticut.  After two weeks, he emerged with a series of 15 Intaglio Etchings called 

The Burials of Picasso.    He created 6 sets of this series.  Three of the sets remain as part of the collection.  In 2014, a family friend notified us that the copper plates used to create the series were found in their father's storage.   These plates are also now part of the 

Wood-Thomas Art Collection.
