Picasso Sculpture
This book was published on the occasion of Picasso Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The first large-scale retrospective of Picasso’s sculpture in the United States for almost half a century, the 2015–16 exhibition featured over a hundred sculptures from across the artist’s oeuvre. While sculpture has long been considered the least-known facet of his protean career, Picasso Sculpture takes a different perspective: it chronicles the vibrant lives of his three-dimensional works, demonstrating that they were indeed exhibited, documented, and collected, and arguing that they played an important role in Picasso's public reception.
The catalogue features a foreword by museum director Glenn Lowry, an introductory essay by curators Ann Temkin and Anne Umland, and an extensive eight-chapter illustrated chronology by Luise Mahler and Virginie Perdrisot with Rebecca Lowery. Color plates of the exhibited sculptures are accompanied by photographs by Brassaï, and the back matter includes an exhibition checklist by Nancy Lim and Mahler, and an illustrated history of selected exhibitions featuring Picasso’s sculptures by Mahler.
