Exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" (Avignon I), Palais des Papes, Avignon, 1.5.-30.9.1970.
An installation view of the exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Held from May to September 1970, the show presented Picasso's late works against the palace's ancient, rough-hewn stone walls. Here, seven canvases featuring bold, fragmented figures are arranged on a wall, with a rope barrier keeping visitors at a distance. The grand medieval architecture, with its high ceilings and prominent stone columns, provides a dramatic backdrop for the modern art.
