Issue 20 - In Conversation with .. 9!

The cornerstone of this extraordinary exhibition,
'Picasso Sculptor: Matter and Body', curated by
Carmen Giménez, accompanied by Lucía Agirre,
captures nearly sixty years of Picasso's sculptural
endeavors. Offering a unique artistic perspective,
this exhibition navigates through Cubism,
abstraction, primitivism, and the incorporation of
found objects. One cannot help but marvel at the
interdisciplinary inspiration reflected in Picasso's
prodigious body of work.
Throughout his artistic journey, Picasso fearlessly
defied conventions by seamlessly merging various
artistic modes. Although sculpture may be his
lesser-known domain, glimpses into Picasso's
personal spaces, captured in numerous photographs,
reveal a constant presence of sculptures in
his intimate surroundings. These sculptures,
cherished additions to his private collection, served
as testaments to his boundless creativity, brought
to life through diverse materials such as wood, iron,
plaster, cement, metal, and bronze.
Presented by the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in
collaboration with the Museo Picasso Málaga,
'Picasso Sculptor: Matter and Body' forms an
integral part of the international program, the
Picasso Celebration 1973–2023. Generously
supported by the National Commission for the 50th
Anniversary Commemoration of Pablo Picasso's
passing and with the exceptional collaboration of
the Musée national Picasso-Paris, this exhibition
promises an immersive artistic experience.
Telefónica joins as the Collaborating Company in
Spain, further enriching this extraordinary
celebration of a true artistic genius.
Step into the enchanting world crafted by Picasso
himself, exploring the intricate relationship between
matter and body through his remarkable sculptures.
Witness the convergence of painting,
drawing, engraving, ceramics, and sculpture, as
Picasso seamlessly transcended boundaries and
ignored the limitations imposed by
conventional norms. Join us on this awe-inspiring
journey as Guggenheim Bilbao pays homage to the
indomitable spirit and irreplaceable artistry of a true
visionary - Pablo Picasso.
