Le Tricorne
Le Tricorne is a painted stage curtain created in 1919 by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso for the Ballets Russes production of The Three-Cornered Hat.[1]
It was later purchased for $50,000 USD by Phyllis Lambert, the daughter of Samuel Bronfman, the founder of the Seagram empire.[2] The curtain, sized 19 by 20 feet, hung for many years in The Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram Building in New York City.[3] In 2015 the work entered the collection of the New York Historical Society, where it remains as of 2021.[1]
