Join the Gallery's Senior Curator, International Art, Dr Sophie Matthiesson, on opening weekend for an introduction to Picasso: Designed by Paul Smith.

The coordinating curator for this exhibition, Sophie will lead a conversation with curators from Musée national Picasso–Paris, Virginie Perdrisot-Cassan and François Dareau.

Hear how Picasso: Designed by Paul Smith came together, why the exhibition is travelling internationally and how works were selected from the Musée national Picasso–Paris collection. The curators will also share insights into key artworks in the exhibition and Sir Paul Smith’s creative approach to presenting Picasso’s paintings, sculptures, ceramics, prints and drawings in a fresh way.

Doors open at 12:50pm, and the talk starts at 1pm.

The talk is free, but spaces are limited. Please book to avoid disappointment.
