This book sets out to explore the complex myriad of relationship between Picasso and a selection of contemporary artists spanning several generations. Far from being a hommage, the exhibition will illustrate the controversial and often antagonistic position that Picasso occupies in the artist psyche. Be invited contemporary artists to participate in the exhibition "Picasso: A Contemporary Dialogue", which was organized by the Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac (Salzburg/Paris).
