Offset lithograph after an original charcoal drawing on wove paper, 1910. Image size 7” x 11” with full margins. Published in Camera Work, Volume XXXVI, October, 1911. The original drawing was one of eighty-three works by Picasso exhibited at Alfred Stieglitz’s 291 Gallery at the suggestion of Edward Steichen and with the help of Leo Stein. His sister Gertrude wrote essays about Picasso for the exhibition and in Camera Work. It was the first exhibit of the artist’s work in the United States. Standing Nude is the only work purchased by Stieglitz for his personal collection. It prefigures Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase, which was exhibited at the Armory Show staged in Manhattan in February and March, 1913. Very good overall condition.
