​Qatar Museums To Host Picasso-Giacometti Blockbuster Next Year


​It will be the first show in the region dedicated to these 20th-century giants.

​In what will surely be one of the biggest blockbusters in the Middle East next year, Qatar Museums will stage the first exhibition in the region focused on the two legendary 20th-century artists Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti.

​The show, which will take place at 
Fire Station Artist in Residence in Doha, is a collaboration between Qatar Museums, Paris’ Musée National Picasso, and the Fondation Giacometti. The first leg of the show, in fact, is currently on at the Parisian museum.

Gathering over 80 works by these two emblematic artists, some of the highlights that will be included in the exhibition are Self Portrait (1901), Woman Throwing a Stone (1931) and The She Goat (1950) by Picasso; and Flower in Danger (1932), Tall Woman (1960), and Walking Man (1960) by Giacometti.

The exhibition, curated by Catherine Grenier, director of the Fondation Giacometti, will take place from February 22 to May 21, 2017, and represents the culmination of over two years of research.
One of Grenier’s main tasks of was to shine a light on the similarities and relationship between these two artists, who are seemingly disparate in their approaches to art making, and had a 20-year age gap.
