“Reflections. Picasso/Koons at the Alhambra” at the Palace of Charles V in Alhambra Granada, until March 16th
A hypnotic collision of mythology, modernity, and timeless aesthetics. Picasso’s introspective forms meet Koons’ gleaming, hyperreal surfaces in a charged dialogue about beauty, memory, and reinvention. Set against the iconic Alhambra, the exhibition dissolves boundaries between past and present, classical and contemporary. Picasso’s grave, monochromatic echoes of Antiquity contrast with Koons’ lustrous, reflective celebrations of the now, creating a space that feels both sacred and subversive. By embedding these visions within Granada’s layered history, the show invites viewers to inhabit myth and reimagine art’s eternal themes. A radiant interplay of power, fragility, and time.
