Official presentation of the cultural programme for the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023 at the Reina Sofía National Art Museum, Madrid © Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte
On 8 April 2023, we will be celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso. The event will mark the international celebration of the work and artistic legacy of the Spanish genius, to take place in Spain and elsewhere in 2023. It will be a "Picasso Year" to enjoy an extensive cultural programme and learn more about one of the key figures in art history.
During this great cultural celebration, around 50 events and exhibitions are expected to be held in different museums and institutions in Spain, France, Germany and the United States, among other countries. As a whole, the programme will show how current Pablo Picasso's work still is, and will offer the chance to delve into unpublished aspects of his production. There will also be two essential events for historians, experts and scholars of the Spanish artist: a conference in Madrid, focusing on the context of the first avant-garde Picasso, and an international symposium in Paris that will take stock of the research and interpretations of his work.
Exhibitions and activities in Spain
In Spain, the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023 will begin in October 2022, with the opening of two temporary exhibitions on the painter: Julio González, Pablo Picasso and the dematerialisation of sculpture, at the MAPFRE Foundation in Madrid, and Picasso / Chanel at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum.
