Since 1912, and the appearance of "Hommage à Picasso", the Cubist Picasso Portrait by Juan Gris, the work of Pablo Picasso has been a challenge and incentive alike for a wide variety of - artists.
For generations, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) or "Guernica" (1937) have been adapted, are appropriated in the most diverse ways, no matter what approaches the respective artists themselves might otherwise have pursued thus far. It is the inexhaustible imagination and scope in Picasso's work that challenges artists, between abstraction and figure, artistic creativity and politically intended statement, to ever-new exciting dialogues.
The voluminous book is published to accompany the reopening of the renovated Halle für aktuelle Kunst at the Deichtorhallen, and features works by Francis Bacon, Jean- Michel Basiquiat, Brassaï, Rineke Dijkstra, Robert Doisneau, Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Thomas Houseago, Asger Jorn, Martin Kippenberger, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Louise Lawler, Dora Maar, Jonathan Monk, Robert Motherwell, Claes Oldenburg, Sigmar Polke, Richard Prince, Thomas Schütte, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol and many others..
