About
Gagosian is honored to present, with the generous support of the Picasso family and other important lenders, a comprehensive exhibition of sculpture by Pablo Picasso.
The Sculptures of Pablo Picasso traces a path from the artist’s early bronzes to monumental heads and carved wood figures from the Boisgeloup period as well as constructions that incorporate diverse media and objets-trouvés. Also included are works from the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s executed in clay, bronze, iron, plaster, and wood, as well as signature painted metal cutouts from the late period.
This exhibition incorporates such iconic and celebrated sculptures as Head of a Woman (Fernande) (1909), Glass of Absinth (1914), Study for Monument to Guillaume Apollinaire (1928), Head of a Woman (Boisgeloup) (1930), Still Life with Glass (1938), Head of a Bull (1950), and Pregnant Woman (1950), as well as other rarely seen works.
A fully illustrated catalogue edited by and with an introduction by Diana Widmaier Picasso will accompany the exhibition. The catalogue will include an essay by Robert Rosenblum.
