Exposition Pablo Picasso 1970-1972. 201 peintures. 23.5.-23.9.1973. Palais des Papes, Avignon. Festival d'Avignon 1973. (Avignon II)
Inside a cavernous Gothic hall of the Palais des Papes, visitors attend the exhibition of 201 paintings from Pablo Picasso's final years, 1970–1972. Held during the Festival d'Avignon in 1973, the event transforms the historic space with its high vaulted ceilings and stone walls. Daylight streams through tall, arched windows, creating dramatic highlights and deep shadows across the vast floor where people observe the densely hung artworks. A simple rope barrier separates the viewers from the paintings.
