Pablo Picasso "Picasso's Marie-Thérèse"
Acquavella Galleries
This event has ended.
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), who many consider to be the greatest artist of the twentieth century, painted his life and revealed it to the world through the astonishing series of large, colorful portraits that he painted in 1932. The subject of these paintings is the young, voluptuous, blond girl named Marie-Thérèse Walter (1910-1977) who first captivated him five years earlier. Many of these works, such as The Dream, are in private collections and are rarely, if ever, placed on public display.
Picasso's Marie-Thérèse will mark the first time that many of these pictures will be shown together in the United States since the 1932 Picasso retrospective at Galeries Georges Petit in Paris. Included among the works that will be on loan from private collectors, as well as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Tate in London are not only major portraits of Marie-Thérèse but also drawings and a very rare sculpture.
