The Spanish-French initiative has been in preparation for over a year and a half and will include 42 “unprecedented” exhibitions at 38 prominent institutions worldwide, including the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Prado in Madrid, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and at the Center Pompidou in Paris. In connection with the exhibitions, there will be lectures about the artist.
“Celebración Picasso” begins on September 23 in Madrid and ends in April 2024 in Paris.
“We want to present Picasso exactly as he was by lifting his artistic legacy,” Spanish Culture Minister Miquel Iceta said at a press conference.
The artist Pablo Picasso was born in Madrid, Spain in 1881 and died on the French Riviera in 1973.
