O’Lynch Family Releases Limited Number of Picasso “Portrait au Cou Bleu” Lithograph Prints from Original Family Inventory
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Historic Collection Connected to Decades-old Legal Battles and Upcoming Book Project Now Available to Collectors Through eBay
CHARLESTON, South Carolina — The O’Lynch Family today announced the public release of a limited number of lithograph prints of Pablo Picasso’s renowned Portrait au Cou Bleu (Portrait with Blue Neck) from the family’s original inventory.
For more than four decades, these prints have remained in private family holdings following a series of events involving art transactions, litigation, and federal court proceedings that became a defining chapter in the family’s history. For the first time, a select number of these pieces are being made available to collectors through eBay.
The release marks a significant milestone in a story that spans generations and is currently being documented in an upcoming book and screenplay project exploring the family’s experiences surrounding the acquisition, protection, and stewardship of interests associated with the artwork.
“We believe these prints represent much more than a collectible work of art,” said a representative of the O’Lynch Family. “They are part of a remarkable family journey involving perseverance, litigation, and the pursuit of justice. We are pleased to finally make a limited number of these pieces available to collectors who appreciate both the artistic significance of Picasso and the extraordinary story behind these works.”
The family’s connection to Portrait au Cou Bleu stems from transactions involving Jackie Fine Arts, Inc. and subsequent federal court litigation that continued for years and generated significant legal precedent. The O’Lynch Family maintains extensive historical records relating to the artwork, the litigation, and the broader events that shaped the family’s stewardship of the collection.
The forthcoming book project, tentatively titled The Biggest Art Fraud in History, the Story of Jackie Fine Arts; will explore the events surrounding the family’s involvement in the dispute, offering an in-depth examination of the art world, finance, litigation, and the individuals connected to one of the most unusual ownership stories in modern art history.
The lithograph prints now being offered are part of a finite inventory retained by the family. Once sold, no assurance can be made regarding future availability.
