KPMG Ireland announced as Exhibition Partner for Ireland’s first major Picasso exhibition in 25 years at the National Gallery of Ireland, autumn 2025
Picasso: From the Studio runs from 11 October 2025 - 22 February 2026
For the first time in 25 years, Ireland will host a major exhibition dedicated to Pablo Picasso - one of the most revolutionary and influential artists of the 20th century. Picasso: From the Studio, presented by the National Gallery of Ireland in collaboration with the Musée national Picasso-Paris and proudly supported by KPMG Ireland, is a landmark exhibition offering visitors a unique glimpse into the private world of Picasso’s studios, where some of the most ground-breaking works of modern art were created. Running from 11 October 2025 to 22 February 2026, Picasso: From the Studio is set to be a cultural highlight of the year.
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) lived surrounded by his art, with his personal life and creative process deeply intertwined. Picasso: From the Studio brings together 60 paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and works on paper, spanning over 50 years of his career. The exhibition journeys through the diverse phases, styles, and passions that defined Picasso’s work, from the vibrant studios of Montmartre in the 1920’s to the sunlit interiors of his final home in Mougins. Photographic and audio-visual elements will offer an immersive glimpse into his world, offering fresh perspective on how his surroundings influenced his artistic output.
Curated by Janet McLean, Curator of Modern Art, National Gallery of Ireland with Joanne Snretch, Curator of Paintings, Musée national Picasso-Paris, the exhibition presents both iconic masterpieces and lesser-known works. Highlights include A Bottle and Newspaper (1913) and Violin and Bottle on a Table (1915), created in Paris, and key examples of his pioneering Synthetic Cubism. Also featured are Tête de femme (1931–1932) and Portrait de Marie-Thérèse (1937), produced at the Château de Boisgeloup in Normandy, reflecting his intense relationship with Marie-Thérèse Walter. One of his final works, Musician (1972), created in his studio in Mougins, will also be on display, encapsulating recurring motifs from his career - guitars, musicians, and eyes - blended together in his distinctive style.
Dr Caroline Campbell, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, said: "We are delighted to partner with KPMG Ireland for this major Picasso exhibition. Corporate sponsorships are invaluable to the Gallery, enabling us to present ambitious exhibitions. We are also most grateful to the Musée national Picasso-Paris for their collaboration and expertise in bringing this project to life. We look forward to working with KPMG to share Picasso’s creative process with audiences in Ireland and beyond."
Seamus Hand, Managing Partner of KPMG Ireland, said: "At KPMG, we are committed to supporting cultural initiatives that enrich society whilst reaffirming Dublin as a great place to live and visit. ‘Picasso: From the Studio’ offers a rare opportunity to explore one of the most iconic and innovative artists of the 20th century in a new way, and we are proud to play a role in making this exhibition accessible to all."
Joanne Snrech, Curator at the Musée Picasso national-Paris, added: "We are excited to collaborate with the National Gallery of Ireland on this important exhibition. Picasso’s studios were more than just workspaces—they were extensions of his creativity, shaping some of his most remarkable works. This exhibition will provide audiences with a rare glimpse into the environments, and how they fuelled his artistic genius."
Picasso: From the Studio runs from 11 October 2025 to 22 February 2026 in the Beit Wing. Tickets start from €5. The Gallery would like to thank the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media for their ongoing support.

About the Musée national Picasso-Paris:
Inaugurated in 1985, the museum is located in the heart of Paris, in the Hôtel Salé. The Musée national Picasso-Paris collection comprises more than 5,000 works, and over 200,000 archive items. It is the largest collection of Picasso's works in the world, and the only one to cover all of Picasso's paintings, sculptures, engravings and drawings, as well as the artist's creative process through sketches, studies, sketchbooks, and series of engravings, photographs, illustrated books, films and documents. This exceptional collection is the result of three successive donations to the French State by the heirs of Pablo Picasso in 1979, by the heirs of Jacqueline Picasso in 1990, and then by Maya Widmaier-Picasso in 2021.The collection has been supplemented by a number of exceptional additions, notably Picasso's personal collection, which was donated to the State by his heirs in accordance with the artist's wishes, and includes pieces of Iberian statuary, African and Oceanic masks, and some fifty works by old and modern masters (Matisse, Miró, Braque, Renoir, Giacometti, Le Nain, Corot, Vuillard, Cézanne, Gauguin, le Douanier Rousseau, Modigliani, drawings by Degas and de Chirico, etc). Picasso's personal archives (numbering some 200,000 items) were deposited by his heirs in 1978 for pre-classification, and then entered the national collections by virtue of a manual donation in 1992. The public establishment of the Musée national Picasso-Paris was created in 2010. It is responsible for presenting and enhancing the national collection it houses. Its mission is to act as a reference point for research into the life and work of Picasso and the artists with whom he was associated. The museum endeavours to welcome the widest possible audience, to promote knowledge of its collections, and to design and implement educational and promotional initiatives to ensure equal access to culture for all. In addition, the museum acquires cultural property from its own funds and on behalf of the French State, with a view to enriching its collections.

KPMG Ireland Fógartha mar Chomhpháirtí Taispeántais don Chéad Mhórthaispeántas Picasso in Éirinn le 25 Bliain ag Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann, Fómhar 2025
Beidh Picasso: From the Studio ar siúl ón 11ú Deireadh Fómhair 2025 - an 22ú Feabhra 2026
Den chéad uair le 25 bliain, cuirfidh Éire taispeántas mór i láthair atá tiomnaithe do Pablo Picasso - ceann de na healaíontóirí is réabhlóidí agus is tionchairí den 20ú haois. Picasso: From the Studio, á chur i láthair ag Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann i gcomhar leis an Musée national Picasso-Paris agus le tacaíocht bhródúil ó KPMG Ireland, is taispeántas suntasach é a thugann deis ar leith do chuairteoirí léargas a fháil ar shaol príobháideach stiúideonna Picasso, áit ar cruthaíodh cuid de na saothair is ceannródaí san ealaín nua-aimseartha. Ar siúl ó 11 Deireadh Fómhair 2025 go 22 Feabhra 2026, tá Picasso: From the Studio le bheith ar cheann de bhuaicphointí cultúrtha na bliana.
Bhí Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) ina chónaí timpeallaithe ag a chuid ealaíne, lena shaol pearsanta agus a phróiseas cruthaitheach fite fuaite ina chéile go domhain. Tugann Picasso: From the Studio deo 60 pictiúr, dealbh, earraí criadóireachta, agus saothar ar pháipéar le chéile, thar 50 bliain dá ghairm bheatha. Téann an taispeántas ar aghaidh trí na céimeanna, na stíleanna agus na paisin éagsúla a shainigh saothar Picasso, ó stiúideonna bríomhara Montmartre sna 1920idí go dtí an taobh istigh grianmhar ina theach deiridh i Mougins. Tabharfaidh gnéithe grianghrafadóireachta agus closamhairc léargas tumtha ar a shaol, ag tabhairt peirspictíocht úr ar an tionchar a bhí ag a thimpeallacht ar a aschur ealaíne.
Coimeádta ag Janet McLean, Coimeádaí na Nua-Ealaíne, Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann le Joanne Snretch, Coimeádaí na bPictiúr, Musée National Picasso-Paris, cuireann an taispeántas sárshaothair íocónacha agus saothair nach bhfuil mórán aithne orthu i láthair. I measc na mbuaicphointí tá A Bottle and Newspaper (1913) agus Violin and Bottle on a Table (1915), a cruthaíodh i bPáras, agus príomhshamplaí dá chuid Ciúbachas Sintéiseach ceannródaíoch. Le feiceáil freisin tá Tête de femme (1931–1932) agus Portrait de Marie-Thérèse (1937), arna dtáirgeadh ag an Château de Boisgeloup sa Normainn, rud a léiríonn a chaidreamh dian le Marie-Thérèse Walter. Beidh ceann dá shaothar deiridh, Musician (1972), a cruthaíodh ina stiúideo i Mougins, ar taispeáint freisin, ag cuimsiú móitífeanna athfhillteacha óna ghairm bheatha — giotáir, ceoltóirí agus súile - arna gcumasc le chéile ina stíl shainiúil.
Dúirt an Dr Caroline Campbell, Stiúrthóir Ghailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann: "Tá lúcháir orainn dul i gcomhpháirtíocht le KPMG Ireland don mhórthaispeántas Picasso seo. Tá urraíochtaí corparáideacha fíor-luachmhar don Ghailearaí, agus cuireann siad ar ár gcumas taispeántais uaillmhianacha a chur i láthair. Táimid chomh maith an-bhuíoch den Musée National Picasso-Paris as a gcomhoibriú agus a saineolas i bhunú an tionscadail seo. Táimid ag tnúth le bheith ag obair le KPMG chun próiseas cruthaitheach Picasso a roinnt le lucht féachana in Éirinn agus níos faide i gcéin."
Dúirt Seamus Hand, Comhpháirtí Bainistíochta KPMG Ireland: "Ag KPMG, táimid tiomanta do thacaíocht a thabhairt do thionscnaimh chultúrtha a shaibhríonn an tsochaí agus Baile Átha Cliath á athdhearbhú mar áit iontach le maireachtáil agus le cuairt a thabhairt air. Tugann ‘Picasso: Ón Stiúideo’ deis annamh chun duine de na healaíontóirí is íocónach agus is nuálaí den 20ú haois a iniúchadh ar bhealach nua, agus táimid bródúil as ról a bheith againn chun an taispeántas seo a dhéanamh inrochtana do chách."
Dúirt Joanne Snrech, Coimeádaí ag an Musée National Picasso-Paris: "Táimid ar bís comhoibriú le Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann ar an taispeántas tábhachtach seo. Ní spásanna oibre amháin a bhí i stiúideonna Picasso - is síntí ar a chruthaitheacht iad, ag múnlú cuid dá shaothar is suntasaí. Tabharfaidh an taispeántas seo spléachadh annamh don lucht féachana ar na timpeallachtaí ealaíonta, agus ar an gcaoi ar spreag siad a bhua na healaíne go smior."
Beidh Picasso: From the Studio ar siúl ón 11ú Deireadh Fómhair 2025 - an 22ú Feabhra 2026 sa Beit Wing. Tosaíonn ticéid ó €5. Ba mhaith leis an nGailearaí buíochas a ghabháil leis an Roinn Turasóireachta, Cultúir, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus Meán as a dtacaíocht leanúnach.

Maidir leis an Musée National Picasso-Paris:
Osclaíodh an músaem i 1985 agus tá sé suite i gcroílár Pháras, san Hôtel Salé. Cuimsíonn bailiúchán Musée National Picasso-Paris níos mó ná 5,000 saothar, agus breis is 200,000 mír cartlainne. Is é an bailiúchán is mó de shaothair Picasso ar domhan é, agus is é an t-aon bhailiúchán a chlúdaíonn pictiúir, dealbha, greanta agus líníochtaí uile Picasso, chomh maith le próiseas cruthaitheach an ealaíontóra trí sceitsí, staidéir, leabhair sceitseála, agus sraith greanta, grianghraif, leabhair mhaisithe, scannáin agus doiciméid. Tá an bailiúchán eisceachtúil seo mar thoradh ar thrí bhronnadh as a chéile ar Stát na Fraince ó oidhrí Pablo Picasso i 1979, ó oidhrí Jacqueline Picasso i 1990, agus ansin ag Maya Widmaier-Picasso i 2021. Tá breisithe eisceachtúla curtha leis an mbailiúchán, go háirithe bailiúchán Picasso a bhí bronnta ar an Stát ag a oidhrí de réir mhianta an ealaíontóra, agus folaíonn sé píosaí dealbha na hIbéire, maisc Afracach agus Aigéanacha, agus thart ar caoga saothar le máistrí sean agus nua-aimseartha (Matisse, Miró, Braque, Renoir, Giacometti, Le Nain, Corot, Vuillard, Cézanne, Gauguin, le Douanier Rousseau, Modigliani, líníochtaí le Degas agus de Chirico, srl). Chuir a oidhrí cartlanna pearsanta Picasso (ar a raibh thart ar 200,000 mír) i dtaisce i 1978 le haghaidh réamhaicmiú, agus chuaigh siad isteach sna bailiúcháin náisiúnta ansin de bhua deonacháin láimhe i 1992. Cruthaíodh an Foras Poiblí, an Musée National Picasso-Paris, i 2010. Tá sé freagrach as an mbailiúchán náisiúnta a chur i láthair agus a fheabhsú. Is é an misean atá aige ná feidhmiú mar phointe tagartha le haghaidh taighde ar shaol agus ar shaothar Picasso agus na n-ealaíontóirí a raibh baint aige leo. Déanann an músaem a dhícheall fáilte a chur roimh an lucht éisteachta is leithne agus is féidir, eolas ar a chuid bailiúcháin a chur chun cinn, agus tionscnaimh oideachais agus chur chun cinn a dhearadh agus a chur i bhfeidhm chun rochtain chomhionann ar chultúr a chinntiú do chách. Ina theannta sin, faigheann an músaem maoin chultúrtha óna chistí féin agus thar ceann Stát na Fraince, d’fhonn a chuid bailiúcháin a shaibhriú.
