The new presentation of the museum’s collection features 144 works by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), all belonging to the artist’s private collection, ten of them have never been seen before in Spain including: Spanish Plate decorated with a bull’s head (1957), the sculpture Woman leaning on her Elbow (1933), the oils Head of a Woman (1928) and this beautiful portrait of Picasso's first-born son Paul (1922).
Until the Spring of 2027, the museum’s galleries present the overall unity of Picasso’s work rather than dividing it into particular periods or styles. Paintings, sculptures, drawings, ceramics and graphic art reveal the inner coherence of Picasso's oeuvre, moving away from conventional interpretations which have classified it by periods, displaying works from different decades of his career alongside each other.
This new display has been supervized by Michael FitzGerald, Kluger Family Professor of Art History at Trinity College, Hartford (USA), and in collaboration with the Fundación Almine y Bernard-Ruiz-Picasso (FABA).
