‘The Picasso Century’ is coming to NGV

The Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition positions Picasso amongst his contemporaries, including Salvador Dalí and Gertrude Stein, to give more context to his journey as an artist and how his influence broke down borders and extended across the world.

Tony Ellwood, director of the NGV, said: “This exhibition offers visitors an extraordinary insight into the development of modern art and the preeminent figure at its centre, Pablo Picasso.

“Through more than 170 works of art – including many that have never been seen in Australia – audiences will come to appreciate the many ways in which Picasso influenced, and was influenced by, the artistic community that surrounded him.”
