“A FOREIGNER CALLED PICASSO” AT GAGOSIAN IN NEW YORK
The exhibition will be punctuated by the figure of the harlequin, Picasso’s allegorical avatar, which represents both a psychological self-portrait and an itinerant, performing outsider on the margin of society. Picasso depicted this archetypal figure in every stage of his career. A Foreigner Called Picasso will include several extraordinary examples from different periods, notably including the first iteration of the theme, Seated Harlequin (1901), on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Curated by Annie Cohen-Solal and Vérane Tasseau, and organized in association with the Musée national Picasso-Paris and the Palais la Porte Dorée-Musée national de l’histoire de l’immigration in Paris.
On view until February 10, 2024 at Gagosian
522 West 21st St, New York
