With "Bares for Rares" there is a real sensation.
A real Picasso finds its way into the Pulheim rolling mill.
Only moderator Horst Lichter can get little out of the masterpiece of the Spanish painter.
Pulheim - That's probably the dream of every salesman who makes his way to the Pulheim rolling mill: that his object for sale turns out to be a real treasure.
At “Bares für Rares” (here all the news on the topic page) the time had come again in the episode of May 31: At the sight of a real Picasso, both the expert and everyone in the dealer room caught their breath.
Only Horst Lichter (60) was quite unimpressed.

Seller brings real Picasso to "Bares for Rares"
Achim Esser (57) from Nideggen has a very special piece in his luggage.
At "Bares for Rares" he presents a ceramic plate that the real estate agent grabbed while clearing out.
A bull's head is painted black on the white plate, which, according to expert Albert Mayer (72), stands for "power and animal strength".
The piece created in 1956 was painted by none other than Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)!
A true rarity, after all the plate series was limited to 450 pieces.
