Exposition Pablo Picasso 1970-1972. 201 peintures. 23.5.-23.9.1973. Palais des Papes, Avignon. Festival d'Avignon 1973. (Avignon II)
The ancient stone walls of the Palais des Papes provide a dramatic backdrop for the exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1970–1972," part of the 1973 Festival d'Avignon. Hung salon-style, 201 of the artist's late works are illuminated by spotlights from the floor, casting a warm glow on the distorted portraits and figures. The installation creates a striking contrast between the grand, historic architecture and the 20th-century avant-garde art.
