Following the critical and popular success of "Picasso: Mosqueteros" in New York in 2009 and "Picasso: The Mediterranean Years" in London in 2010, Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present the next chapter in an ongoing exploration of Picasso’s principal themes. "Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’amour fou" brings together the paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints inspired by one of Picasso’s most ideal models and enduring passions.
