Now the Vallauris linocut will enter history in a new role — raising money to fight climate change. To win the artwork, entrants can buy as many tickets as they wish to enter (each priced at £10.10) and answer a question about Picasso’s work. Correct entries will be drawn from a proverbial hat on 31 January next year and all proceeds go to the 10:10 campaign.

Question: Picasso also made his famous ceramics in the town of Vallauris, working at the local Madoura pottery. How much fresh water does it take to make a pot? And what is the shipping cost for finished products?
