Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in art history, was an extraordinary printmaker as well as prolific painter and sculptor. Highlighting three significant prints—Portrait of a Young Woman after Cranach the Younger II, Pique II, and Bacchanal with Kid Goat and Onlooker—along with their various proofs, Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocuts from a Private Collection is an intimate exhibition that reveals how these works and subjects developed in the latter part of his career and his groundbreaking contributions to the medium.

The exhibition is organized by Townsend Art Advisory LLC.
