Saturday, September 6
10am
Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center
1017 Antebellum Cir, Hendersonville

Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center is pleased to present The Unknown Picasso: Selections from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection. Featuring many exceptionally rare, limited-edition lithographs from the legendary artist’s private estate, this rich trove is a comprehensive survey of Picasso’s career which features every family member and love interest, every style and every famous theme.

The legendary magnitude of “Picasso’s Picassos” includes many works that are unknown even to experts, but relate closely to such museum masterpieces as Les Demoiselles D’Avignon and Guernica.

There is a great backstory to this amazing collection of art, which is known as the Marina Picasso Collection. As Picasso’s granddaughter, Marina inherited not only a horde of more than 10,000 original works by the artist, including the most prestigious collection of his ceramics, but the splendid villa La Californie, overlooking the Mediterranean, where Picasso spent many years. The villa proved to be nothing short of an artistic gold mine. Indeed, it was filled with so many never-before-seen works that they have yet to be exhaustively catalogued.

As part of the forthcoming exhibition, renowned art historian Charles A. Riley, II, PhD, will offer his unique insights about the legendary Spanish artist. Dr. Riley has authored four acclaimed books about the artist and curated more than a dozen exhibitions featuring Picasso’s work.
