The International
ceramics museum in Faenza, near Ravenna, will be hosting two big
exhibits next year, on Miquel Barcelò in the spring and Pablo
Picasso in November.
The first exhibit on Spanish artist Barcelò's ceramic
production will be inaugurated at the end of May.
The exhibit, whose exact date has yet to be released, is a
unique project conceived for the museum in Faenza, where the
artist's work will be displayed alongside the permanent
collection, in particular local art, organizers said.
The show 'Picasso. La sfida della ceramica' (Picasso. The
challenge of ceramics) will open on November 1 next year.
The 60 pieces to be showcased will be loaned by the Musée
Picasso in Paris.
The exhibit is part of the project 'Picasso Mediterranée',
which over the past two years has contributed to the
organization of over 40 events across Europe, involving 100
institutions.
The permanent collection of Faenza's ceramics museum already
includes artwork donated by Picasso to help it rebuild its
contemporary collection after artwork was destroyed during World
War II.
