What would a Picasso exhibition look like if it was curated by acclaimed British artist and fashion designer Paul Smith?” That question is answered emphatically — and in living color — in Picasso Celebration: The Collection in a New Light .
This can’t-miss exhibition, at the Musée Picasso Paris through August
27, 2023, is one of approximately 50 special events taking place around the world as part of Celebration Picasso 1973-2023 , recognizing the 50th anniversary of the artist’s death on April 8, 1973.
Smith’s art direction, in partnership with curators Cécile Debray and Joanne Snrech, showcases Picasso’s work “through a contemporary

© Vinciane Lebrun/Voyez-Vouslens and underlines the continuing relevance of Picasso’s work in today’s world,” says the museum. It does so in a way that untethers Smith from the more traditional exploration or “academic approach,” he says. Instead — and noting he’s an art lover but in no way an expert — Smith emphasizes the exhibition is a “free expression” to showcase Picasso’s art in a new and exciting way.
This manifests in some superbly creative, visually stirring, whimsical, and memorable displays. Think: a room swathed in blue to set off paintings from Picasso’s Blue Period. A pink room for the rosehued Les Demoiselles d’Avignon . Blood red in the bullfighting room. A floor of green astroturf for an homage to Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe — apropos when you consider the painting’s name translates to Luncheon on the Grass
Picasso’s Paul en Arlequin hangs on a harlequin-covered background, its blue and yellow diamonds a near replica of the subject’s costume. His famous Bull’s Head sculpture, formed by the union of a bicycle seat and handlebars, is accompanied by a wall of handlebars. Picasso’s famed marinière Breton gets the celebrity treatment, with a photograph of the Breton-cloaked
artist sitting beneath an umbrella of striped jerseys suspended from the ceiling.
Clearly, Smith had fun with this assignment. Or, as Debray calls it, a “joyful invitation to rediscover all of Picasso’s creative fields, painting, sculpture, ceramics and graphic arts, through the sharp and mischievous eye of a great contemporary creator.”
Picasso Celebration: The Collection in a New Light also has its pensive moments; most notably where his Civil War-inspired works are
exhibited alongside Mickalene Thomas’ Resist #8, a modern battle cry targeting systemic racism and police brutality. Thomas is one of several contemporary artists whose work is showcased throughout Celebration Picasso.
Celebration Picasso kicked off last year with a dual announcement from the French and Spanish Culture Ministers in front of the anti-war masterpiece Guernica at Madrid’s Reina Sofía Museum. It wraps up in early 2024. In between, exhibitions will be held throughout Europe and North America. The following is a selected list of those events.

Picasso 1906: La Gran Transformación
Museo Reina Sofia
Madrid, Spain

This exhibition examines how Picasso contributed to the advancement of modern art as a pioneer of Cubism. Picasso’s time in the Catalonian village of Gosol in 1906 marked a period of optimism and evolution — hence, the “transformation.” This was especially compelling as it came on the heels of his highly symbolic Blue and Rose Period artworks.

Málaga, Spain
May 8 to September 9, 2023
Museo Guggenheim Bilbao
Bilbao, Spain
September 29 to
