Over the course of his long career, Picasso devoted himself to sculpture wholeheartedly, using both traditional and unconventional materials and techniques. Unlike painting, in which he was formally trained and through which he made his living, sculpture occupied a uniquely personal and experimental status in Picasso’s oeuvre. Inventive, whimsical and ever evolving, his sculpture keeps pace with his artistic development.  $10. No RSVP required.
