Walker Art Center Presents Picasso And American Art

The exhibition examines the fundamental role that Picasso played in the development of American art over the past century by juxtaposing his work with that of groundbreaking American artists who were inspired or influenced by his example.

Sponsored by Target, this Walker After Hours event features music by Digitata; a screening of Henri-Georges Clouzot's classic 1956 film The Mystery of Picasso, which shows the artist at work on his paintings; an Art Lab activity to create collages appropriating the work of Picasso; cash bars; a Target Lounge on the Walker terraces; Wolfgang Puck appetizers; and Pablo's Party People Photo Booth to immortalize the evening.

Tickets are $30 ($15 Walker members) in advance and $35 ($20) at the door, and are available at walkerart.org or by calling 612.375.7600 (includes one complimentary drink). Save $1 per ticket when purchasing online. -- www.walkerart.org
