Gallery Talk: Pablo Picasso's Homme au mouton

<p>Christie's Impressionist &amp; Modern Art Specialist Adrien Meyer discusses Pablo Picasso's <em>Homme au mouton</em>,&nbsp;a unique sheet metal sculpture which demonstrates the innovative spirit that continued to inform Picasso&rsquo;s work, even in his later years. Instead of plaster or clay, Picasso produced this new version by cutting and folding a simple paper maquette, which he then gave to professional metal-workers to re-create in sheet metal. The result is an engaging three-dimensional sculpture that is at once both modern and archaic in its sensibilities, and profoundly Mediterranean in inspiration. (RT: 3:12)</p>
