Join one of our expert Gallery Guides for a tour of Picasso: Designed by Paul Smith.
Encounter the Blue and Rose periods, Cubism, portraits of family and friends, and more in the first solo exhibition of Picasso’s work in Aotearoa New Zealand in more than 30 years. See over 80 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and ceramics from one of the world’s most influential artists.
The exhibition brings together celebrated works from the Musée national Picasso–Paris in a special collaboration with legendary British fashion designer Sir Paul Smith. Sir Paul’s sensory-rich rooms draw on the hues, shapes, patterns and textures of Picasso's artworks. His design transforms the gallery spaces into carefully choreographed environments, using colour, pattern and unexpected materials to characterise the chapters of Picasso’s life and work in new ways.
The tour lasts one hour and will cover the main themes and works within the exhibition. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please meet your guide in the Gallery foyer.
