Description
Picasso: Tete-a-tete is drawn largely from Picasso's estate and features over sixty rarely seen paintings, sculptures, and drawings spanning his career from 1896 to 1972. Inspired by the achronological approach Picasso used for his first retrospective in 1932, the book places works from various decades in conversation with each other, encouraging viewers to discover new personal connections and continuities.
Fully illustrated with colour plates, including extensive installation photography, the catalogue reproduces all the works in the exhibition alongside details and archival images of the artist and his studios. It includes an introduction by Larry Gagosian, a conversation between Paloma Picasso and artist Peter Doig discussing the inspiration behind the exhibition and recounting her father's creative life, and 'Hanging with Picasso,' an essay by Michael Cary reflecting on the diversity of the artist's practice.
The book also features a translation of a 1932 conversation between Picasso and E. Teriade. The cloth hardcover is housed in a slipcase that showcases the painting Fillette jouant avec une voiture (Paloma fond rouge) (1951) and the sculpture Petite fille sautant à la corde (1950).
