- Book Synopsis
- Drawn largely from Picasso's estate, the book features over sixty rarely seen paintings, sculptures, and drawings from the full span of his career, from 1896 to 1972. Inspired by the achronological approach that Picasso took when installing his first retrospective in 1932, works from across decades are placed in conversation, encouraging viewers to discover new personal connections and continuities. Fully illustrated with colour plates, including extensive installation photography, the catalogue reproduces all the works in the exhibition alongside details and archival images of the artist and his studios. It includes and introduction by Larry Gagosian; a conversation between Paloma Picasso and artist Peter Doig addressing the inspiration behind the exhibition and recounting her father's creative life; "Hanging with Picasso," an essay by Michael Cary reflecting on the diversity of the artist's practice; and a translation of a 1932 conversation between Picasso and E. Tériade. The cloth hardcover is housed in a slipcase featuring the painting Fillette jouant avec une voiture (Paloma fond rouge) (1951) and the sculpture Petite fille sautant à la corde (1950).
