Homage To Picasso

About

Gerrish Fine Art is delighted to announce our new exhibition HOMAGE TO PICASSO, taking place at Willoughby Gerrish, 16 Savile Row, London, from 1-20 August. The centrepiece of our show is a very rare early Picasso portrait in linocut, of his muse and second wife, Jacqueline. This stunning work will be accompanied by over fifty prints from the 1973 portfolio ‘Hommage à Picasso’, planned to celebrate Picasso’s 90th birthday. The portfolio features a vast array of international artists who each contributed works that in some way pay tribute to this great giant of 20th century art. Artists include Lichtenstein, Hamilton, Hockney, Pistoletto, Twombly, Stella, Chillida, Judd, Saint Phalle, Christo, and Motherwell, among others. We will also be exhibiting a group of Cubist influenced sculpture by Lipchitz and Laurens as well as two sculptures by Julio Gonzales who famously taught Picasso how to make sculpture in iron, with the two collaborating closely for a period in the late 1920s.
