Miquel Barceló's Sgraffito Prints at BnF and Musée Picasso
Miquel Barceló's printmaking practice is highlighted in two concurrent Paris exhibitions in 2016. The BnF site François-Mitterrand hosted "Miquel Barceló" from March 22 to August 28, 2016, while the Musée national Picasso presented a related show from March 22 to July 31, 2016. The artist uses the term "sgraffier," not found in dictionaries, to describe his printed works.
