>Picasso – #125

>So you’re going to have to tell me how far afield I’m allowed to wander and if this is OK.

Ingelheim is just up the road from Mainz – 5km max from the outskirts of the city – and is home to Boehringer-Ingelheim, one of the bigger (as in top 20 global) life-science outfits.

For the last 48 years, they’ve sponsored a series of art exhibitions in the old town hall under the name “Internationale Tage” – International Days.

That’s the collection of poster miniatures.

Nothing provincial here. World class exhibits, world class curatorship.

Warhol last year.

Picasso this year.

€6 to get in, kids and students free.

Bloody great.

Wish I’d known about it earlier.

Only been living here for 30 years…

And if there was one thing that impressed me most, it was the 11 individual prints of “Le Taureau” – here as a poster – as it metamorphosed from a solid-bodied sketch portrait on 5 December 1945 to its essential form on 17 January 1946.
