EXPOSITION Picasso under new light
‘Acrobat’ (1930) by Pablo Picasso
To mark the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso’s death in April 1973 in his home in Mougins, the French and Spanish governments have launched a large-scale bi-national event. As the driving initiative of this rich programme, the Musée National Picasso-Paris invited British designer Sir Paul Smith, known for his work with colour, tailoring and unexpected details, to lead the artistic direction of an exceptional exhibition showcasing the museum’s collection. The show is curated around masterpieces from the collection seen under a new light from Sir Paul’s unique approach to the works, inviting the public to view them through a contemporary lens and underlining the continuing relevance of Picasso’s work in today’s world. March 7 to August 27
