The last two decades of Picasso's life, 1953 to 1973, are revealed in a major exhibition organised by the Art Gallery of New South Wales

7th November 2002

"Picasso – The Last Decades" includes more than 80 paintings and works on paper selected from museums around the world including the Musée National Picasso in Paris, Museu Picasso in Barcelona, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Tate Modern, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Detroit Institute of Arts and the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, as well as from private international collections.

In 1953 Pablo Picasso was at the pinnacle of his fame, inconceivably wealthy, and universally acknowledged for his innovative genius and gigantic influence on 20th century art. Instead of slowing down and reaping the rewards of a lifetime's efforts, his last 20 years were as prolific, intense and provocative in their achievements as he had been in his earlier life.

"Picasso – The Last Decades" will only be seen at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
