Los Angeles Modern Auction (LAMA) offers some significant ceramic work from the 20th and 21st century in their October 11, 2105 event. In particular there is a large group of Picasso limited editions which have become something of a cash cow for both fine and decorative art auctions. CFile picked a few works that we found appealing, including a important Ken Price sculpture and works on paper, as well as a rare appearance of a Charles Simmons terracotta.
