The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is presenting Picasso and Klee in the Heinz Berggruen Collection, an exhibition organised in collaboration with the Museum Berggruen in Berlin that reveals the artistic connection between two geniuses of modern art, Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee.

Curated by Paloma Alarcó, chief curator of Modern Painting at the Museo Thyssen, and Gabriel Montua, director of the Museum Berggruen, the exhibition pays tribute to the legacy of Heinz Berggruen, one of the most important art dealers and collectors of the 20th century, through fifty works, the majority from the collection of the museum in Berlin. The exhibition is also supported by the Comunidad de Madrid.

In conjunction with the renovation of its building, since 2022 the Museum Berggruen has been organising a series of international exhibitions in in Japan, China, Australia and Europe in order to present the most important works from its collection. In the case of the Museo Thyssen, the exhibition proposes a visual and intellectual dialogue between these two artists, who were the collector’s favourites.
