Picasso Black and White

Picasso Black and White, the first major exhibition to focus on the artist’s lifelong exploration of a black-and-white palette throughout his career, will be presented at the Guggenheim Museum (New York, USA) from October 5, 2012, to January 23, 2013.

The exhibition features 118 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from 1904 to 1971, and will offer new and striking insights into Picasso’s vision and working methods. This chronological presentation includes significant loans—many of which have not been exhibited or published before—drawn from museum, private, and public collections across Europe and the United States, including numerous works from the Picasso family.

Picasso Black and White presents a unique and illuminating perspective on a lesser-known but fascinating aspect of his formidable body of work. Picasso’s Blue and Rose periods include, in effect, works painted in delicate black, white, and gray soft light shadings, and his pioneering investigations into Cubism are condensed to geometric and deconstructed components of austere gray tones.

Dates: from October 5 to January 23.
Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York. USA.
Opening hours: from Sunday to Wednesday and Friday from 10am to 5.45pm. Saturdays from 10am to 7.45pm.
