About
Picasso: By the Book will run concurrently with Picasso and Maya: Father and Daughter, in the Paris gallery. Curated by Douglas Flamm, Gagosian’s rare-book specialist, this bookstore will be devoted solely to Picasso. An in-depth selection of significant Picasso publications will be presented, including Christian Zervos’s thirty-three-volume catalogue raisonné published by Cahiers d’Art, which remains the most comprehensive cataloguing of Picasso’s vast oeuvre for specialists and scholars. Other selections include a complete original set of the periodical Minotaure (1933–39), published by Editions Skira, Jean Cocteau’s Picasso de 1916 à 1961 (a special edition with two extra suites of prints), and Picasso’s 1964 illustrated book, Le Carmen des Carmen, which includes three aquatints, one drypoint etching, and a lithograph. Rare monographs and noteworthy catalogues such as those of a 1932 exhibition at Galerie Georges Petite, as well as of Picasso’s last exhibition during his lifetime, in 1973 at the Palais des Papes, Avignon, will be available for sale, alongside contemporaneous art journals in which Picasso published his work, including early issues of Verve and Cahiers d’Art. The Shop will also feature prints and ceramics by Picasso as well as vintage exhibition posters and photographs of the artist by Arnold Newman, Lucien Clergue, and Edward Quinn. The store will be open during gallery hours, Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–7pm. For inquiries about available publications please contact Douglas Flamm at dflamm@gagosian.com.

D’autres sélections comprennent un set original du magazine Minotaure (1933–39), publié par les Editions Skira, Picasso de 1916 à 1961 de Jean Cocteau (une édition spéciale avec deux séries supplémentaires de gravures) et Le Carmen des Carmen, un livre illustré par Picasso datant de 1964 et qui contient trois aquatintes, une gravure à la pointe sèche et une lithographie. Des monographies rares et des catalogues remarquables comme celui de l’exposition à la Galerie Georges Petite en 1932, ainsi que la dernière exposition de Picasso de son vivant, en 1973 au Palais des Papes à Avignon, seront disponibles à l’achat, aux côtés de revues d’art contemporaines dans lesquelles Picasso a publié ses œuvres, notamment des numéros anciens de Verve et Cahiers d’Art. La librairie comprendra également des éditions et des céramiques de Picasso, ainsi que des affiches d’expositions vintages et des photographies d’Arnold Newman, Lucien Clergue et Edward Quinn.

Behind the Art
A Foreigner Called Picasso
Join president of the Picasso Museum, Paris, Cécile Debray; curator, writer, biographer, and historian Annie Cohen-Solal; art historian Vérane Tasseau; and Gagosian director Serena Cattaneo Adorno as they discuss A Foreigner Called Picasso. Organized in association with the Musée national Picasso–Paris and the Palais de la Porte Dorée–Musée national de l’histoire de l’immigration, Paris, the exhibition reframes our perception of Picasso and focuses on his status as a permanent foreigner in France.
A Foreigner Called Picasso
Cocurator of the exhibition A Foreigner Called Picasso, at Gagosian, New York, Annie Cohen-Solal writes about the genesis of the project, her commitment to the figure of the outsider, and Picasso’s enduring relevance to matters geopolitical and sociological.
Fashion and Art: Pieter Mulier
Pieter Mulier, creative director of Alaïa, presented his second collection for the legendary house in Paris in January 2022. After the presentation, Mulier spoke with Derek Blasberg about the show’s inspirations, including a series of ceramics by Pablo Picasso, and about his profound reverence for the intimacy and artistry of the atelier.
