Description

Published together with the first large-scale retrospective of Picasso’s sculpture in the United States since The Museum of Brand new Art’s historic show of 1967, Picasso Sculpture is a sweeping survey of the artist’s profoundly innovative and influential work in three dimensions.
Over the course of his long career, Picasso devoted himself to sculpture wholeheartedly, if episodically, the usage of both traditional and unconventional materials and techniques. Unlike painting, in which he was once formally trained and through which he made his living, sculpture occupied a uniquely personal and experimental status in Picasso’s oeuvre. He kept the majority of his sculptures in his private possession all the way through his lifetime, and it was once only in the late 1960s that the public became fully acutely aware of this side of his oeuvre.
Picasso Sculpture presents approximately 150 sculptures–many of them captured in newly commissioned and infrequently multi-view photographs–alongside a selection of works on paper and photographs. Organized into chapters that correspond to distinct periods all the way through which Picasso devoted himself to sculpture, the publication features an introduction by the exhibition curators in addition to a richly illustrated documentary chronology that specialize in the sculptures included in the exhibition. A comprehensive bibliography and list of historic exhibitions related to Picasso’s work in sculpture closes the volume, advancing the understanding of Picasso’s practice and lifelong commitment to constant reinvention.
