With a week left until one of the star exhibitions of the Picasso Year, which puts the work of the man from Malaga in dialogue with that of Joan Miró, the transfers, the comings and goings and the moves from Montcada Street to Montjuïc (and vice versa) begin in Barcelona. Because, in addition to jointly organizing an exhibition with more than 250 pieces, some of them unpublished in the city, which can be seen simultaneously at the Picasso Museum of Barcelona and the Fundació Miró, one of the peculiarities of ‘Miró-Picasso’ is that emblematic works by the two artists will change their atmosphere for a few months and will leave their respective museums to be exhibited in the other’s.
Thus, ‘Flame in Space and a Naked Woman’ and ‘The Morning Star’, by Miró, will head to the Gothic quarter, while Picasso’s ‘The Harlequin’ will do the same to settle in the Sert building that crowns the mountain of Montjuic. It is, those responsible for the exhibition say, “an unusual event that has happened very rarely” and to which another exceptional protagonist has been added this Tuesday: the main painting of ‘Las Meninas’ (1957), one of the most emblematic of Picasso and the Barcelona museum.

Since the artist donated the set to the museum in 1968 in honor of his friend and personal secretary Jaume Sabartés, the work has only left the museum four times. This is also the first time it has been installed in another museum in the city. The operation, they detail, lasted more than nine hours and more than thirty professionals were involved.
Jointly organized by the Joan Miró Foundation and the Picasso Museum Under the direction of its respective directors, Marko Daniel and Emmanuel Guigon, ‘Miró-Picasso’ brings together works from the main public and private collections around the world: emblematic pieces such as ‘La masía’, ‘Untitled (Cabeza de hombre) ‘ or ‘Woman, bird, star (Tribute to Pablo Picasso)’, by Joan Miró; and ‘Figures on the Seashore’, ‘The Weeping Woman’, or ‘The Three Dancers’, by Pablo Picasso, will visit the city from centers such as the Musée National Picasso in Paris, the Pompidou Center, the National Museum Center Reina Sofía Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington or the Tate Gallery in London.
Furthermore, until 130 works They will change venues “to guarantee that the public has a unique experience of the entire creative dimension of both artists and their friendship for half a century”:
