In the case of the Alhambra exhibition, five masterpieces – two by Picasso and three by Koons – are placed around the Palace of Charles V and the Museo de Bellas Artes, creating a ‘dynamic conversation between past and present’.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is the juxtaposition of Picasso’s 1923 painting The Three Graces with Koons’ sculpture of the same name.
Koons’ Three Graces is a polished stainless steel sculpture with a transparent covering and stands in the circular courtyard of the Palace of Charles V.
Inside the museum, visitors can view Picasso’s Head of a Warrior (1933) alongside two works from Koons’ Gazing Ball series.
