Exposition Pablo Picasso 1970-1972. 201 peintures. 23.5.-23.9.1973. Palais des Papes, Avignon. Festival d'Avignon 1973. (Avignon II)

Within a high-ceilinged hall of the Palais des Papes in Avignon, 201 paintings from Pablo Picasso's 1970–1972 period are arranged in a dense, salon-style hanging. Light from a tall arched window illuminates the clusters of canvases covering the historic stone walls. A major event of the 1973 Festival d'Avignon, the exhibition ran from May to September. In the foreground, a rope barrier separates the viewing area from the displayed art.
