The Picasso Project is a chronological illustrated catalogue of the master's works. Most of the volumes are illustrated in black in white, however those since 2009 also have color plates. Co-directed by Picasso scholar Herschel Chipp until his death, the project reproduces and describes all the paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sculpture as well as the graphics produced from the first extant work in 1889 to 1973. The first volumes appeared 1995, beginning with the post-Cubist work of 1917. The subsequent volumes continue until the artist's final year, 1973.
