Picasso exhibition attracts bumper crowds at Swansea's Dylan Thomas Centre

Jan. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- A photography exhibition which features the life of world famous artist Pablo Picasso has proved exceptionally popular with visitors to Swansea's Dylan Thomas Centre.

Visiting Picasso, an exhibition featuring a selection of intimate photographs of Pablo Picasso from acclaimed photographer Lee Miller, has been viewed by over 23,000 visitors since it opened in the centre last October.

Nick McDonald, Swansea Council’s Cultural Strategy and Partnership Officer said “Securing this exhibition was quite a coup considering Pablo Picasso is one of the best known artists of all-time and Lee Miller one of the most renowned photographers.”

“It’s incredible that 23,000 people have visited the Centre for this exhibition which is more than the capacity of the Liberty Stadium.

“There is still an opportunity for people to visit as the exhibition is open until the 19 January”.

Miller charted her remarkable friendship with Picasso from 1937 to his death in 1973 and the exhibition includes images of other members of the international surrealist circle and offers a unique and intimate portrait of life close to Picasso
