Picasso gave permission to make three tapestries. The first carpet was made in 1955 and purchased by Nelson Rockefeller. It hangs in UN headquarters in New York.
The second tapestry from 1976 hangs in the Unterlinden Museum. Created in 1983, the third tapestry hangs in the Takasaki Modern art museum in Japan.
