Jaume Plensa's Drawings Take Center Stage at Musée Picasso Antibes

The Musée Picasso in Antibes has opened "Jaume Plensa. La Lumière Veille – Dessin 1982-2022," the first museum retrospective dedicated to the Spanish artist's works on paper. Curated by Jean-Louis Andral, the exhibition challenges Plensa's reputation as a sculptor by foregrounding his drawings, which the artist describes as a diary of his daily life and creative process. The show presents a chronological journey, starting with his well-known sculptural works and moving backward to his early collages, revealing the foundational role of drawing in his practice. Plensa's 2010 permanent installation "Nomade" on the museum's terrace marked his initial connection with Antibes. The exhibition runs until September 25, 2022.
