Description
Experience the largest Pablo Picasso exhibition in Hong Kong in over a decade, featuring more than 60 iconic pieces by the artist, alongside over 80 works from Asian and Asian-diasporic artists. Co-organised by M+ and the Musée Picasso Paris, which houses the world’s largest collection of Picasso’s works, this exhibition promises a rich exploration of his artistic legacy.
The showcase introduces four major archetypes of the Spanish master: The Genius, The Outsider, The Magician, and The Apprentice. Each archetype highlights Picasso’s creativity and enduring influence on the history of art. Featured works include Portrait of a Man (1902–1903), The Acrobat (1930), Massacre in Korea (1951), and the sculptural series The Bathers (1956).
This exhibition is also the first to explore Picasso’s connections to Asia, examining how his legacy has influenced many Asian artists and their works such as Wifredo Lam, a pivotal figure of Latin American modern art and Luis Chan, one of the most renowned Hong Kong artists during the 20th century.
