One week after, I got a very confusing e-mail from Tchibo explaining how they got to lithographs, and saying basically that those are not quite Picasso's work, but made by Marcel Salinas on a behalf of Picasso's granddaughter Marina, between 1979 and 1982 and MADE AFTER Picasso's oils. Needless to say, I canceled the order. Of course, it was naive to believe that one can even get Picasso's lithograph for that kind of money, even though I wouldn't expect such a confidence trick from big player like Tchibo is. Further below you can find excerpts from Tchibo's mail (in German). "Die Galerie Burkhard Eikelmann in Düsseldorf, die Tchibo dieses Angebot vermittelt hatte, hat diese Lithographien entdeckt. Sie wurden in den ehemaligen Druckwerkstätten Picassos in Paris hergestellt, 25 Jahre unberührt in einem Lager eines Großhändlers in New York aufbewahrt, um schließlich ihren Weg zu Tchibo zu finden. <strong>Lithograph und Drucker war Marcel Salinas</strong>, der exklusiv für Pablo Picasso gearbeitet und diese Lithographien - posthum nach Picassos Tod - vom Stein gedruckt hat." "Die für die über Tchibo vertriebenen Lithographien benutzten Steindruckplatten wurden nach dem Druck von 1000 Exemplaren vernichtet, so dass ein Nachdruck der angebotenen Edition durch die eigens <strong>von Salinas hergestellten</strong> Druckplatten ausgeschlossen ist. Die Signatur Pablo Picassos wurde ebenfalls mit dem Stein gedruckt." Well, I was one from those ordering the lithograph!!

That's pretty cool! Mine did not come with a monkey but if 'Mary Rose' (the label) doesn't lie, then it was exclusively produced for Mary Rose, which is a local company. Meaning that you would have a Vorarlbergian blanket:-) You do? That’s pretty cool!

I always associate it with 'cheabo', although I realize no native English speaker would use that term. There is a Finnish Band - Kaxi Kimitekaxi (=22) Pistepirkko) - who have a line in one of their post that goes: Why you look so cheabo? (and I take this to be a transmogrification of cheap). According to Wikipedia, the name is a combination of Tchilling (surname of one of the founders) and Bohne (=Bean). German coffee chains have a thing for that. Some years ago, Tchibo merged with its main competitor Eduscho, which was created from the name of founder Eduard Schober. I am not going to click on that link NOW, as I have no room for other songs in my head right now - my last choir concert coming up tomorrow. Ah, and I guess I also have to work a bit (while I still can;-) Is Schitzu a common name for a dog?
