\u201cPicasso en visite\u201d is the first exhibition held at the Art Encounters Foundation\u2019s new venue. It opens in September and brings works by Pablo Picasso from the Mus\u00e9e Picasso, Antibes collection to Timi\u0219oara for the first time. <\/p>\n
Painting, graphic art, and ceramics come together in this exhibition, an international project that opens a new chapter in the Foundation\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis exhibition has a twofold purpose: to introduce the public to one of the most influential figures in modern art, as controversial as they are significant in 20th-century art, and the opening of an art center dedicated entirely to contemporary art, capable of hosting exhibitions that meet international museum standards, extensive educational programs, and new forms of dialogue with the public,\u201d says Diana Marincu, artistic director of Art Encounters.<\/p>\n
Curated by Jean-Louis Andral, director of the Mus\u00e9e Picasso in Antibes, the exhibition brings together 69 works by the artist, focusing on his creative years in the south of France. Beyond the artist\u2019s established image, the selection explores the freedom of his brushwork and the way Picasso moves across painting, drawing, printmaking, and ceramics in a continuous process of reinvention. Mythological motifs, hybrid figures, and transformed forms reveal an experimental artist who is surprisingly contemporary. <\/p>\n
After his stay at the Ch\u00e2teau Grimaldi in Antibes, Picasso donated the works he had created there to the city, and in 1966 the building became the Mus\u00e9e Picasso, the world\u2019s first museum dedicated to the artist, and its collection remains one of the most important testaments to the freedom Picasso embraced throughout his life and career.<\/p>\n
The new Art Encounters art center is the result of an extensive modernization process carried out in collaboration with Attila Kim Architects.<\/p>\n
Designed to meet international museum standards, the new space combines exhibition halls, areas for interdisciplinary projects and educational programs, a bookstore, a caf\u00e9, and an urban garden, serving as an open platform for gathering, learning, and cultural exploration.<\/p>\n
The \u201cPicasso en visite\u201d exhibition will be open to the public from September 17, 2026, to January 17, 2027. Tickets will be available starting in July 2026 through the dedicated online platforms. The exhibition schedule, as well as details about related events, will be announced in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
