This will be the museum’s first large-scale Picasso exhibition since 2001.
A news release states that the show will showcase over 300 works spanning the artist’s entire career and highlight the artist’s “deep appreciation of the physical world and his desire to manipulate diverse materials.”
The exhibition will be co-organized by the Cleveland museum and the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in collaboration with the Musée Picasso, Paris.
The exhibition is curated by William H. Robinson of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ann Dumas of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and Emilia Philippot of the Musée Picasso, Paris. A scholarly publication accompanies the exhibition.
“The range of works on paper and their relationship to works in other media is extraordinary,” Robinson said Wednesday in an email.
The release states that Picasso’s “relentless exploration of working on and with paper’’ will be featured in “collages of cut-and-pasted papers, sculptures from pieces of torn and burnt paper, documentary photographs and manipulated photographs on paper, and an array of printmaking techniques on paper supports.”
Highlights of the show will include “Femmes à leur toilette,” of 1937–38, a collage measuring more than 9 by 14 feet. It will be exhibited in the U.K. for the first time in 50 years and in the U.S. for the first time in 40 years.
Other highlights will include Cubist collages, sketchbooks, including studies for “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon;” Surrealist- and Cubist-period guitars and works related to major paintings and sculptural projects.
Robinson said in an email that the exhibit poses challenges due to the light-sensitive nature of many of the works that will be on view.
"The curators are working closely with paper conservators to ensure the safety of all the objects,'' he said. “In some cases, this will require rotating works or limiting the period of display of certain works. Despite these challenges, the exhibition will be roughly similar in both Cleveland and London.”
The exhibition will be organized chronologically in 10 sections, with a limited number of related paintings and sculptures provided for context, including the Cleveland museum’s seminal Blue Period masterpiece, “La Vie,” of 1903.

The Coraopolis Community Development and Gilberti Fine Arts Studio & Gallery have invited artists from the West Hills Art League to participate in Art Walk Cory. Artists and artwork from Pittsburgh Society of Artists and the West Hills Art League will be stationed inside participating businesses throughout the Coraopolis business district. There will also be strolling musicians, children's activities and the Hoshi food truck. Please contact Debbie Tobin at debratobin@ymail.com to sign up to participate.
They are confirming five Coraopolis businesses to serve as “artist hosts” for the day of the art walk so we are looking for five WHAL artists to represent the league. Two pieces per artist, and the artists will need to provide easels or pedestals (for sculpture) as they can’t allow nailing into the businesses’ walls.

Artists can of course sell their pieces during the event if they have a square or some other type of electronic payment.
