Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’amour fou brought together over 80 works of art including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints showcasing Picasso’s artistic journey through his muse, Marie-Thérèse, from 1927 to 1940. Collaboratively designed and curated with Valentina Castellani, the exhibition dynamically transformed Gagosian’s 21st Street gallery into a space that reflected both the innovation of Picasso’s time and its relevance today. The exhibition design created a setting that underscored Marie-Thérèse’s profound influence, with several works never previously seen in the United States, offering fresh insight into Picasso’s groundbreaking artistic achievements.

On several occasions Selldorf Architects has designed exhibitions for Gagosian. The firm completed eight exhibitions in New York, London and Rome including three exhibitions of works by Pablo Picasso, as well as exhibitions on Claude Monet, Robert Rauschenberg, Francesco Vezzoli, Lucio Fontana, and Francis Bacon. For each show Selldorf was tasked with creating a layout and lighting design appropriate for the specific artist’s work, which also responded to significant differences in scale, medium, and natural and artificial light requirements.
