Explore Pablo Picasso’s potent legacy and persistent impact on several generations of artists in this vibrant exhibition occupying all our galleries this fall. After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists features nearly 150 works in a variety of mediums. Among those included are such Picasso peers as Brassaï, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Henri-Cartier Bresson, and Dora Maar. Plus you’ll find contemporary masters like Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Cindy Sherman, William Wegman, Louise Lawler, Sigmar Polke, Amy Sillman, and Fred Wilson.

After Picasso offers the perfect bookend to Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection, which featured 19 works by Picasso and inaugurated our 25th Anniversary Season last September. Originally titled Picasso in Contemporary Art, the exhibition was first presented at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg on the occasion of its own 25th anniversary and curated by the institution’s general director, Dirk Luckow.

Explore selected works in After Picasso using our special augmented reality app! You can experience the artworks in a whole new way through the interactive program, which accesses photos, videos, and other content to help put you into the mind of the artist. It’s free—just pick up an iPad mini as you enter the galleries.

After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists has been organized in cooperation with Deichtorhallen Hamburg.
