Tate Modern
A month-by-month journey through Picasso’s ‘year of wonders’. Until September the 9th.
First ever solo exhibition of Pablo Picasso’s work at Tate Modern, one of the most significant shows the gallery has ever staged. The ‘EY Exhibition: Picasso 1932 : Love, Fame, Tragedy’ takes visitors on a month-by-month journey through 1932, a time so pivotal in Picasso’s life and work that it has been called his ‘year of wonders’. More than 100 outstanding paintings, sculptures and works on paper will demonstrate his prolific and restlessly inventive character. They strip away common myths to reveal the man and the artist in his full complexity and richness.
