Studio de la sculpture. Ground floor, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (photographed after Pablo Picasso's death)

Photographed in 1974 after Pablo Picasso’s death, the artist's ground-floor sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins is captured as he left it. The rustic room, with its exposed stone walls and terracotta tile floor, is filled with a profusion of sculptures. Painted ceramic heads and busts rest on a long wooden table, while dozens of dark, abstract, and figurative bronze forms are arranged on the floor and within deep stone alcoves. In the foreground, a separate table is covered with black-and-white photographs of other works.
