Thanks to a very productive artist, who actively worked for almost three-quarters of a century, even small art museums have been lucky to have a Pablo Picasso in their permanent collections. The Academy Art Museum has recently joined the ranks of those fine institutions with the recent acquisition of one of the artist’s prints from 1937.
In May 2013, the Museum added to its collection Sueño y Mentira de Franco (Dream and Lie of Franco), a print in a portfolio by Picasso. AAM Curator Anke Van Wagenberg highlights for the Spy the unique features, including its special connection to Picasso’s masterpiece Guernica that motivated the museum to make the purchase.
