Picasso From Musee National Picasso, Paris August 4, 2011

The de Young hosts an extraordinary exhibition of more than 100 masterpieces by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) from the permanent collection of Paris' world-renowned Musee National Picasso. The once-in-a-lifetime exhibition, made possible only because of the temporary closure of the Musee Picasso until 2012 for extensive renovations, comprises paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints drawn from every phase of the artist's career.
