Seventy works by Picasso and more than 100 by 50 of his contemporaries will be heading to the National Gallery of Victoria, in an exclusive new exhibition that will open 10 June as part of the Winter Masterpieces program.

Several years in the making, The Picasso Century will be curated by the deputy director of France’s National Museum of Modern Art, Didier Ottinger. The show will chart Picasso’s impact on the 20th century through his relationships with other artists, poets and intellectuals, as well as the impact of the century’s events on him.
