GROUP EXHIBITION

This exhibition adopts a new and unique perspective to interpret the legacy of Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973). More than sixty masterpieces by Picasso will be on loan from Musée national Picasso-Paris (MnPP), which holds the largest and most significant repository of Picasso’s works in the world. They will be placed in conversation with around 130 pieces from the M+ Collections by thirty Asian and Asian-diasporic artists from the early twentieth century to the present. Co-organised by M+ and MnPP, co-presented with the French May Arts Festival as opening programme of the French May Arts Festival 2025, and supported by the Title Sponsor, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation is the first major exhibition of Picasso in Hong Kong in more than a decade. It proposes an unprecedented cross-cultural and intergenerational dialogue between the twentieth-century European master and contemporary Asian artists.
