Late Picasso

Stockholm, 22.11 2025 – 5.4 2026

The exhibition “Late Picasso” presents a collection of seemingly contradictory and obsitinate works, created by Pablo Picasso in his eighties. With remarkable speed and in great abundance, he evokes themes and motifs drawn from his own past and from the broader tradition of European painting. The critics at the time dismiss his late works but during the 1980’s these paintings’ untamed vigor and energy inspires a new generation of artists.

Please note that more press information will be added shortly.

The exhibition Late Picasso is organised in collaboration between PoMo, Trondheim; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg; and Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso. The curatorial concept is initiated and organised by PoMo, Trondheim and curated by Dr. Dieter Buchhart and Dr. Anna Karina Hofbauer.

The exhibition at Moderna Museet is curated by Jo Widoff.
