Reflections

The exhibition Reflections. Picasso/Koons at the Alhambra will skilfully integrate five works – two by Pablo Picasso and three by Jeff Koons – into the Palace of Charles V and the permanent collection of the Museo de Bellas Artes de Granada, giving rise to a dynamic conversation between past and present. Inside the grounds of the Alhambra, the timeless beauty of the works of Picasso and Koons will enlighten visitors on the continuity and transformation of artistic inspiration, encouraging profound reflection and offering a unique perspective on the intersection between tradition, modernity and contemporaneity.

This show is part of Reflections. Picasso, a project that sets out to intermittently enhance the Museo Picasso Málaga’s presence in collaboration with landmark sites in Andalusia, creating new opportunities to understand Picasso’s oeuvre.

Reflections. Picasso/Koons at the Alhambra was conceived and designed by La Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, with the collaboration of Studio Jeff Koons. The exhibition is curated by Miguel López-Remiro, artistic director of the Museo Picasso Málaga, together with Ricardo Tenorio, director of the Museo de Bellas Artes de Granada, with the support of the regional ministry of culture and sport, the board of trustees of the Alhambra and Generalife, and the Museo de Bellas Artes de Granada.
