Picasso Sculptor. Matter and Body

OPENING TALK

September 2023

Pablo Picasso (b. 1881; d. 1973) worked with sculpture from practically the beginning of his long career. For the Málaga-born artist, it was not a lesser medium but a form of expression on a par with painting, drawing, or engraving. In his practice, there were no major and minor arts but different languages and materials with which to transmit various aspects of his creation. The body, the ultimate objective of Picasso’s representation and his main instrument throughout his career, is the cornerstone of this exhibition, one of the events held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his death. Curators: Carmen Giménez, Lucía Agirre Venues: Museo Picasso Málaga, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Exhibition organized by the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in collaboration with the Museo Picasso Málaga
