Coinciding with The Hispanic Society’s exhibition, Picasso and Spanish Classics (November 2, 2023 — February 4, 2024), this panel provides an opportunity for a fascinating conversation about Picasso, his views of Spanish literature, and how we understand artworks today.

In 2023–24, New York witnessed exhibitions marking the Picasso anniversary held at the Guggenheim, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and MoMA, in addition to the one at the Hispanic Society. This roundtable brings together several of the curators organizing them for a discussion of the artist and the experiences of organizing these shows. In the process, the panelists will share their thoughts as to how we have perceived this celebrated figure previously and how we might think of him going forward after these exhibitions.
