Sommaire / Summary
The Picasso Museum in Antibes is housed in the Grimaldi Palace. It houses works by Pablo Picasso, but not only, as it also has a collection of modern art, among others.
Picasso’s works
Picasso stayed in Antibes. During his stay, he worked in this Grimaldi palace. He left a legacy of 23 paintings and 44 drawings to the town of Antibes. These works are currently on public display.
Later, the museum was enriched by ceramics by Picasso, produced in Vallauris. Other works from the Jacqueline Picasso donation will follow.
Thus, a series of rooms will present a representative part of Picasso's oeuvre.
Works by Nicolas de Staël
Nicolas de Staël also lived in Antibes. Some of his works were donated by his widow, and the town itself enriched its collections, acquiring other important works by Nicolas de Staël.
The works are not always on public display.
Modern and contemporary art
In 2001, two rooms were opened at the Musée Picasso to house donations from the Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman Foundation.
But the modern art collections had been in preparation for a long time. Works by famous artists such as Arman, Balthus, Calder, César, Ernst, Hartung, Klein, Modigliani, Picabia, Schiller, etc.
