Picasso to Julie Mehretu modern drawings, the British Museum collection


Picasso to Julie Mehretu modern drawings, the British Museum collection
7 October 2010 –25 April 2011


Currently, the British Museum exhibits many of the great artists' drawings of the 20th century collected over the past 35 years.
The collection starts with Picasso’s study for his masterpiece Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and concludes with Julie Mehretu, the Ethiopian-born artist who is one of the stars of the international contemporary art scene with acclaimed solo exhibitions at the Guggenheim in New York and across the world.

The collected drawings are not selected artists' famous major works. But, I believe it is rare opportunity to enjoy their practice pieces and early studies. (unfortunately, taking photos was exhibited.)
