Picasso's Life in 3D at MoMA

Ann Temkin, MoMA’s Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, and Anne Umland, MoMA’s Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Curator of Painting and Sculpture, discuss the new exhibit of "Picasso Sculpture." The exhibit opened September 14, and is the largest museum exhibition of Picasso's sculptures to take place in the United States in nearly half a century. It features a broad array of three dimensional sculptures Picasso made from 1902 to 1964.
