Join Gagosian for a conversation with curators Annie Cohen-Solal and Vérane Tasseau on the occasion of their exhibition, A Foreigner Called Picasso, on view through February 10, 2024, at Gagosian, New York.

The curators will also share stories behind the creation of the exhibition, which reimagines Cohen-Solal’s award-winning book, Un étranger nommé Picasso, and was first presented in a different iteration at the Palais de la Porte Dorée–Musée national de l’histoire de l’immigration in association with the Musée Picasso, Paris, in 2021–22. After the talk, Cohen-Solal will sign copies of her book, which will be available for purchase.
