Shipping crate for artworks (to Moscow). La Californie, Cannes 1959.
A large wooden shipping crate, destined for Moscow, stands ready at Picasso’s villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. Stenciled markings in French ("TABLEAUX," "FRAGILE") and Cyrillic indicate its fragile contents and international journey. A sticker confirms its origin in "CANNES." On top of the crate, which dominates the dimly lit room, rests a stack of large, patterned ceramic plates awaiting transport.
