Louvre Abu Dhabi Talking Art Series starts up again

Pablo Picasso’s Portrait of a Lady is one of the art works in Louvre Abu Dhabi’s permanent collection and was included in the Birth of a Museum exhibition, which ran from 22 April– 20 July, 2013.

Laurent Le Bon, director of the Centre Pompidou-Metz in Paris will lead a debate about collage in Modern Art on Saadiyat Island tomorrow night.

As part of the Louvre Abu Dhabi Talking Art Series, which offer a public platform for discussion and lectures, Le Bon will use the story of Picasso’s Portrait of a Lady as a starting point for the discussion and explore how Picasso used a new form of aesthetic with his collage.

The debate will be moderated by Khalid Abdul Khaliq from the Museums Department at Abu Dhabi Tourism and Cultural Authority.

* Collage and “Ready Made” in Modern Art: The Story of Picasso’s Portrait of a Lady takes place tomorrow night on Manarat Al Saadiyat at 6.30pm and will be followed by a family workshop on Thursday and Saturday.
