The show at MOMA in New York required 11 galleries and many different variations in Picasso sculpture. The book did a great job of describing his work in both text and photographs.. Sumptuous catalog of a famous exhibition. Roberta Smith's New York Times review of this MOMA exhibition begins thus:"Many exhibitions are good, some are great and a very few are tantamount to works of art in their right-for their clarity, lyricism and accumulative wisdom.
