Some 150 paintings, drawings and sculptures will fill most of the ground floor of the Art Gallery of NSW. These are 'Picasso's Picassos', personal and revealing works that he kept to shape his own legacy.

Made possible only by the closure of the Musée National Picasso in Paris for renovations, the Gallery is the only venue in Australia on the exhibition's world tour.

This is a rare opportunity to see work from the world's most celebrated artist on such scale outside France.

An Australian first, the exhibition showcases seven decades of Pablo Picasso's art. Every phase of his extraordinary career is represented, including masterpieces from the Blue, Rose, expressionist, cubist, neoclassical and surrealist periods
