EXHIBIT: Picasso / Dali, Dali / Picasso
e Dali Museum of St. Petersburg and the Museu Picasso collaborate to organize an
international landmark exhibit coming to the Tampa Bay museum November 8th through
February 16th before moving on to the Museu Picasso in Barcelona. "Picasso / Dali, Dali
/ Picasso" promises to be an international blockbuster for both museums as it will feature
rarely loaned works from more than 25 international art museums and private collections
worldwide pairing works of these leading artists of our era. Dozens of works, with a focus
on paintings, and also featuring drawings, prints and sculpture, will be on display.
"is Picasso exhibition offers the possibility of rereading the relationship between two
key figures of twentieth-century art and exploring new interpretations of the period in
which their lives and works intersected," explained Dali Museum Director, Dr. Hank
Hine. "Both of our permanent collections are made up of works by arguably the two most
influential 20th century Spanish artists."
"Surprisingly, this is a part of history that has not been told before. As this exhibition will
show, their fertile rapport produced some outstanding and crucial artworks for modern
times," said Museu Picasso's Director, Bernardo Laniado-Romero.
