In Dialogue with Picasso
Skarstedt is honored to join the global art community in commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Pablo Picasso鈥檚 passing with our latest exhibition, In Dialogue with Picasso, co-curated by Joachim Pissarro. The exhibition celebrates Picasso鈥檚 lasting influence by showcasing a range of contemporary artists who engage with and continue his legacy. Four of Picasso鈥檚 late masterpieces will be featured alongside works by artists such as Francis Bacon, Cristina BanBan, Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo, Eric Fischl, Louis Fratino, Rachel Harrison, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Louise Lawler, Richard Prince, and Andy Warhol.
In Dialogue with Picasso takes a multi-thematic approach to understanding Picasso鈥檚 legacy, focusing on four distinct areas of influence鈥攅ach one anchored by a Picasso dated between 1968 and 1972, whose iconography underscores how Picasso鈥檚 themes remained relevant throughout the end of his life, but also how contemporary artists have pulled from these same ideas. If, as John Richardson has noted, the last seven years of Picasso鈥檚 life constituted a 鈥済reat late phase鈥� in which he felt free to break his own rules and paint as he liked, then the four works displayed in the exhibition offer a similar freedom to the contemporary artists represented here.
