Pablo Picasso: Celebrating the Muse: Women in Picasso’s Prints from 1905-1968

Over 200 prints by Pablo Picasso in a variety of print-making techniques - etching, drypoint, linocut and lithography – that explore the theme of woman as muse in these media. Marlborough’s exhibition is the first comprehensive overview of this subject as specifically depicted in Picasso’s graphic oeuvre. The show will feature works spanning his entire career from his first print, Le Repas frugal, 1905, to selections from the tour-de-force of his late period, the Suite 347 of 1968.

A 192 page fully illustrated catalogue is available for purchase. The catalogue features an essay by Marilyn McCully, a detailed chronology of Picasso's printmaking, and a comprehensive checklist of all 205 works in the exhibition.
