Exposition "Le dernier Pablo Picasso". 1953-1973. Centre Pompidou, Paris 1988.

A modernist sculpture by Pablo Picasso, photographed at the exhibition "Le dernier Pablo Picasso. 1953-1973" at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, 1988. Crafted from cut and folded brown sheet metal, the female figure is displayed inside a glass case on an illuminated pedestal. With arms raised, it supports a complex, abstract head featuring a stylized face. The hourglass torso and columnar legs rest on a flat base, with the upward lighting emphasizing the sculpture’s geometric planes and three-dimensional form against the muted gallery wall.
