This winter, the Art Institute of Chicago celebrates the unique relationship between Chicago and one of the preeminent artists of the 20th century--Pablo Picasso--with special presentations, singular paintings on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and programs throughout the museum befitting the artist's unparalleled range and influence. The centerpiece of this celebration is the major exhibition Picasso and Chicago, on view from February 20 through May 12, 2013 in the Art Institute's Regenstein Hall , which features more than 250 works selected from the museum's own exceptional holdings and from private collections throughout Chicago.
