art in bulk

boingboing notes that not only can you buy rolls of toilet paper and huge-ass amounts of butter and meat at costco, but you can also apparently buy an original authentic crayon drawing by pablo picasso:

This is an original crayon on paper drawing by Pablo Picasso. The front of the work is signed and dated (November 29, 1970) by Pablo Picasso. The authentication is a hand written and signed declaration by Picasso’s daughter, Maya on a photograph of the actual drawing. She is the world’s utmost authority. Hand-made in Italy, the solid wood frame is hand-gilted with 22K gold leaf to complement the work. The work of art is then surrounded by hand-stretched linen.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is widely considered to be one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. This versatile, Spanish born artist was an expert painter, printer and sculptor. He mastered various mediums, and is most renowned for pioneering the Blue and Pink Period and the Cubism movement. Today, six of the top ten most expensive and coveted paintings are by Pablo Picasso.

Important, historical and collectible, the art presented here is museum quality fine art created by the greatest masters of the past century. Each piece is handsomely framed in acid-free, archival materials to preserve their beauty and lasting value.

i really appreciate the “Ready to hang (hardware included)” feature. don’t you hate it when you buy masterpieces from bulk warehouse stores for $40K a pop and then they make you buy a separate picture hanger and nail? that’s such a scam! Posted at January 18, 2005 8:41 AM
