6 Picasso Shows to See this Year

From the NY Times:

Pablo Picasso died 50 years ago this month, on April 8, 1973. This year, the cultural wings of the French and Spanish governments will observe the anniversary by collaborating on “Celebration Picasso 1973-2023,” a collection of exhibitions across Europe and the United States that play off each other like the colors and textures of a Cubist painting. These are six shows to seek out.

New York:

The Guggenheim Museum: ‘Young Picasso in Paris’
Museum of Modern Art: ‘Picasso in Fontainebleau’
Brooklyn Museum: ‘It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby’

Paris:
Musée de l’Homme: ‘Picasso and Prehistory’
Musée Picasso: ‘Picasso Celebration: The Collection in a New Light’

Madrid:
Museo Reina Sofía: ‘Picasso 1906: The Great Transformation’

I have made a note of the dates for the shows in NYC, a good excuse to go for a few days to take in theater and Picasso! I doubt I will make it to Paris this year or Madrid. NYC is always an adventure.
Thanks for sharing!

I was in Paris three weeks ago and went to the Celebration at the Musee Picasso. I was enthralled. A great reorganization and presentation!

Thank you for the heads up. We plan to go to the Guggenheim in May with our sons, daughter-in-law and two grandsons. It will be lunch out before--making a day of it!

Sounds like a good excuse to take an extended vacation. I'd skip the Hannah Gadsby one, but the others sound great.
