New York, The Museum of Modern Art

This exhibition looks at Picasso’s engagement with the medium of printmaking over the course of his long career, and the ways it fostered his creativity. As a young artist, Picasso bought a small printing press, and prints became part of the ongoing development of his work, as well as providing an opportunity to work with master printers in stimulating collaborative partnerships.

The exhibition features approximately 100 works from the Museum’s superlative collection of the artist’s prints. Picasso made approximately 2,400 prints overall and the Museum’s collection includes over 1,000 examples. Starting on March 28, images of the Museum’s complete holdings of Picasso’s prints will be available through the Museum’s online collection at www.MoMA.org/picassoprintscollection. Also, an unprecedented online project on the subject of Picasso’s printmaking launches on the same day, including over 250 prints from the Museum’s collection and allowing for the interactive exploration of Picasso’s work from a variety of approaches.
