What Do We Owe Picasso?

by Sarah Hamilton
Pablo Picasso at The Art Institute of Chicago February 20th - May 12th
Posted 3/7/13

There is no shortage of Pablo Picasso exhibitions in our world right now – a good half-dozen major shows have opened and closed across the U.S. in the past three years, exploring everything from Picasso’s relationship with women to his relationship with other artists. Now, the Art Institute of Chicago has opened their own exhibition, “Picasso and Chicago,” adding Picasso’s relationships with cities to that list. The premise of the exhibition is a celebration of the 100th anniversary of... [more]

50 Shades of Gray

by Bradley Rubenstein
Pablo Picasso at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum October 5th, 2012 - January 23rd
Posted 11/12/12

Claiming once that color weakened his work, being merely an addition to an already finished canvas, Picasso eliminated it from his palette during many phases of his well-documented career. If one wanted to make the case that the haunting blue period and the sugary rose one were the painterly equivalents of tinted photos, then there might be a case to be made for it being a lifelong practice with which Picasso demonstrated the supremacy of drawing above all else in his work. Clearly the Guggenhe... [more]

SHAPING BRITISH ART

by Phoebe Adler
Francis Bacon, Duncan Grant, David Hockney, Wyndham Lewis, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson, Pablo Picasso, Graham Sutherland at Tate Britain February 15th, 2012 - July 15th, 2012
Posted 2/24/12

Picasso’s influence upon Modern art is something that goes without saying, the impact of his career not only visible throughout the Modern period, but continuing well into the Contemporary. Tate Britain’s current exhibition Picasso and Modern British Art is a carefully considered look at how the late artist came to shape British art, presenting works by the artist shown and collected in Britain, interwoven with studies on how he came to influence the work of seven of the country’s best-kno...

Something unusual is happening to visitors’ attentions in the Van Abbemuseum’s fourth and final installment of Play Van Abbe, an 18-month exhibition program considering artists and exhibition makers as diverse “players” within the museum. The current exhibition adds further players to the roster, putting the museum-going behaviors of viewers up for scrutiny. There’s no shortage of art that relies on or even exploits the viewer, but here it’s the exhibition using its visitors. The artw... [more]

From Rainy Day Magazine: Rich with Riches by Carolyn Donovan It came as a surprise to find out that the LOVE stamp from when I was a kid: 1. is actually a sculpture; 2. is higher than your head; 3. is owned by a man who won the America's Cup. Honey, all you need really IS love Courtesy, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston I love seeing the choices other people make: the Honda or the Toyota? Bar Harbor or Chatham? The Monet or the Modiglian...

Chaos and Classicism feels like the forced scholarly sort of show that, were it not for the many wonderful works in the exhibition, would leave a person wondering why anyone would curate such a broad theme that, for all intents and purposes, could have included any number of artworks from any period in history. Concentrating on the years between the wars in France, Italy, and Germany, every work in Chaos and Classicism depicts or references the human figure, during a time when creators and societies...

Picasso: The Mediterranean Years

by Nicholas James
Pablo Picasso at Gagosian Gallery - Britannia Street June 4th, 2010 - August 28th, 2010
Posted 7/11/10

Gagosian Gallery is the flagship of modern art. With a chain of international spaces, it has the power and expertise to frame areas of significance with focus and impact that museums such as Tate Modern are unable to match. At Britannia Street, the gallery has mounted an exceptional survey of Picasso's post war works: The Mediterranean Years, stunning in its range and provocative invention. The exhibition presents many works, previously unseen, drawn from the family of the artist.... [more]

International Herald Tribune

Pablo Picasso at Grand Palais October 8th, 2008 - February 2nd, 2009
Posted 10/28/08

PARIS: No show in Europe at the moment bids to be more spectacular, or ends up being more exasperating, than "Picasso and the Masters," sprawling here through the Grand Palais. If there's good news to the financial meltdown, it's that maybe bloated blockbusters like this one should become harder to organize. Not that anyone in Paris seems discontent with the exhibition. From morning to night, long lines inch through the front doors to pay obeisance to this endlessly popular Spaniard, who was ahe... [more]
