CLEVELAND — One of the Cleveland Museum of Art's most eagerly awaited exhibitions will officially open this September .
“Picasso and Paper," showcasing Pablo Picasso's lifelong engagement with paper, will debut September 22 and run through Dec. 13 in the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibit Hall and Gallery.
“Showcasing over 300 works spanning the artist’s entire career, the exhibition highlights the artist’s deep appreciation of the physical world and his desire to manipulate diverse materials,” the museum said in a press release. “Picasso’s relentless exploration of working on and with paper is featured in the many assembled 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.”
The Cleveland Museum of Art says this “groundbreaking exhibition” is being done in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts, London, with the Musée national Picasso, Paris. Cleveland is the only North American venue to showcase "Picasso and Paper."
Information on reserving tickets will be announced next month.
