Description:
Nearly 40 years ago, shortly before she died, Margaret Silberman wrote a memoir about her 14-year platonic friendship with Picasso. She based it on the numerous gifts Picasso had given her as testimony of his affection and on her notes of the memorable occasions on which they were given. She also wrote a short essay on Mme Jacqueline Picasso, who had become her close friend and who, at the time, was not widely appreciated for her outstanding qualities and virtues, as she was to become later. The memoir was never published – until now – and many of the gifts illustrated in it have never been seen publicly before.
