Two Picasso's hanging in my living-room ?
17 Answers
A few years ago I purchased two painting which appear to be painted on a wood panel thing. It has the words 'tabopan' and 'portugal' on a sticker on the back of the panel.
These are the scenes from the panel.

I have had them for 25/30 years and only today discovered that the original painting was by Picasso.
There is a date painted on the panels - 3/4/59, this is painted on the front.
Do you think that they might be worth trying to sell or will I just stick them back on the wall?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It could be the right moment to look about for a buyer of these Picasso repros, particularly as they have dates on them. The reason I say that is the trend for repro prints of stencil art or other monochrome semi-abstract printed canvases is probably about at its height now. These have more to them as they are hand painted and dated, and depict a simple stencil type image that fits in to the current taste. Think of the ubiquitous Banksy and all the Banksy copy derivatives on sale in every gift shop and craft market.
My advice is... ask around, it may pay off.

Have a look at these, are these the same or similar to yours?

I'd take these to a reputable high end auction house for appraisal, (Sotheby's Bonhams etc.) Don't rely on a provincial auction house which may not have the necessary expertise or a dealer who might undervalue them.
If they turn out to be reproductions made by Picasso's own hand or that of his studio then you could be substantially 'quids in'.

They're copies of some quite famous pieces

When Picasso needed money to finance a major sculpture or whatever he used to issue limited editions of his smaller works, some of which he would sign. These can be valuable, although not the 10's of thousands that originals are worth, and there are sufficient about to make it worth while getting yours checked out. Chances are that they will be mass produced and not worth much but the possibility of true value exists and is worth the effort of checking out.
Good luck.

The pieces are reproductions so far what does the label look like does it have spadem or any other name besides the material name on the label. The wood panel is black and the actual picture looks to be painted/printed onto a white sheet of plastic underground correct. Real in that term is a real Picasso hand signed. Reproduced in that term are art works by Picasso that have authorization for the reproduction there are only 2 companies that have ever had a license to reproduce Picasso art one of them is S.P.A.D.E.M the other i will tell you once I see a picture of the label that you mention in your post.
