The photographs were taken from the photo archives of Paris Match and selected by Olivier Widmaier Picasso, the exhibition’s commissioner and grandson of Pablo Picasso himself. Premiering in Europe and Paris, the exhibition has already appeared in Sofitel hotels in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago and Montreal.

Very proud of this photographic exhibition coinciding with the recent reopening of the Picasso National Museum in Paris, Picasso’s grandson declared that “by making this selection, and by immersing myself once again in these photos, I have rediscovered these incredible documents which capture the intimacy of my grandfather and the other major artists featured in the exhibit.”
