ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – A landmark exhibition, Picasso and the Allure of the South, opens on January 29 at The Dali Museum. The exhibition’s 79 paintings, drawings and collages – approximately half of which have never been seen in the U.S. – are on loan from the Musee National Picasso-Paris and the Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection, New York. The Dali is the only venue worldwide to present this exhibition, which is curated by Dr. William Jeffett, The Dali Museum’s chief curator. The exhibit continues through May 22.
