Exposition Pablo Picasso 1970-1972. 201 peintures. 23.5.-23.9.1973. Palais des Papes, Avignon. Festival d'Avignon 1973. (Avignon II)
For the 1973 Festival d'Avignon, an exhibition of 201 paintings from Pablo Picasso's final years (1970–1972) was held within the historic Palais des Papes. The avant-garde canvases are mounted directly on the rough-hewn stone walls, illuminated by spotlights from the floor. Above, a tall, narrow, arched window admits diffuse daylight, highlighting the striking contrast between the sacred medieval architecture and the modern art on display.
