The art book "Picasso: Tête-à-Tête" was published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at Gagosian Gallery in New York. In collaboration with the artist's daughter, Paloma Picasso, the book is based largely on Picasso's estate and includes more than 50 rarely shown paintings, sculptures and drawings from his entire career, from 1896 to 1972.
Inspired by the achronological approach used by Picasso in mounting his first retrospective in 1932, works from different decades were juxtaposed, encouraging viewers to discover new personal connections and continuities.
Fully illustrated with color plates, including extensive installation photography, the catalog includes reproductions of all the works in the exhibition, along with details and archival images of the artist and his studios. It includes an introduction by Larry Gagosian; a conversation between Paloma Picasso and artist Peter Doig about the inspiration behind the exhibition and about her father's creative life; "Hanging with Picasso," an essay by Michael Cary in which he reflects on the diversity of the artist's work; and a translation of a 1932 conversation between Picasso and E. Tériade.
The hardcover with linen cover is wrapped in a slipcase featuring the painting Fillette jouant avec une voiture (Paloma fond rouge) (1951) and the image Petite fille sautant à la corde (1950).
