NEW YORK - PICASSO SCULPTURE at MoMA

Where to start? So many new exhibitions opening right now, but no surprise, PICASSO at MoMA is my first stop. 
First Picasso SCULPTURE show in 40 years.
Key loans worldwide but especially from Paris & the Picasso Museum. 



What freedom, what inventive playfulness! 

An amazing show from start to finish. If u only see 1 exh in NY this year - go Picasso! 
Beautifully installed on the 4th floor in smallish rooms, it has rightly got RAVE reviews. Arranged chronologically, it flows easily, naturally, from 1902 right up to 1964.

MoMA has provided all visitors with a wonderful pamphlet which lists each section with titles etc on the right hand page & outline drawings on the left. Brilliant! 
Early wks; then CUBIST years 1912-15  cardboard guitar, all 6 Absinthe Glasses, 
right up to late sheet metal pieces from 1964  ... well for once I point u to www.theguardian.com Arts Art & design Pablo Picasso, a great, punchy ecstactic review.

1951
