Picasso: Untitled
“Picasso almost never gave his works a title; his friends, agents and curators did it for him.” Bernard Ruiz-Picasso.
Picasso: Untitled is an exhibition at La Casa Encendida curated by Eva Franch i Gilabert that presents 50 works from Picasso´s late period (1963-1973) as seen through the eyes of 50 contemporary artists.
The exhibition Picasso: Untitled invites us to look beyond the known titles and representational interpretations of Picasso’s work.
The fifty Picasso works contained in the exhibition and the accompanying eponymous catalogue have been subjected to a process of subjugation. 50 international artists, each one in conversation with a work, have created a new title and description that transforms, interrogates and redefines it. Building potential histories, each artist offers us a radically contemporary perspective on the work produced during the last decade of Picasso’s life between 1963 and 1973. In this invitation to play with Picasso, the project opens spaces to questions latent in the works and essential in our present gaze as race, class, gender, identity, anthropocentrism, or empowerment.
OPENING HOURS: Tue – Sat 10am – 9pm; Sun 10am – 4pm
