 Picasso and his collection
Monday, 9 June 2008 to Sunday, 14 September 2008
Happening at Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Art Gallery | |
|
An exhibition of Pablo Picasso’s personal art collection will be held for the first time outside Europe, and exclusively in Brisbane, at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) from 9 June to 14 September.
The exceptional exhibition will present around 150 works from Picasso’s extraordinary art collection. Up to 30 important master works by Picasso have been selected to hang alongside works from his collection by friends and contemporaries to highlight their inspiration and direct relationships.
‘Picasso & his collection’ includes paintings, drawings and prints by artists such as Chardin, Le Nain, Matisse, Renoir, Cezanne, Rousseau, Miro, Modigliani and Braque, as well as an extraordinary selection of Oceanic and African works.
The exhibition is being generously lent by the Musee national Picasso, Paris, and curated by its director Anne Baldassari.
In association with the exhibition, the Australian Cinematheque will present a curated film program and the Children’s Art Centre will present a major program for Children and families.
‘Picasso & his collection’ will give unique insights into the thinking and visual language of an artist who played the most vital role in the creation of modern art. The range of work Picasso collected over his lifetime reflects a very personal, idiosyncratic collection, and paints in its own way an intimate portrait of Picasso the artist.
‘Picasso & his collection’ has been organised by the Musee national Picasso, Paris, in association with the Queensland Art Gallery and Art Exhibitions Australia.
