Among the 700 works of Modern art that travelled to Chicago were some by Picasso. Stephanie D’Alessandro, the institute’s curator of Modern art, who has organised “Picasso and Chicago”, says a 1906 Picasso drawing of a peasant woman from the collection has a special significance, being the first work by Picasso that people ever saw in the US when Alfred Stieglitz exhibited it in his New York gallery in 1911. Also from the article, I found out that the collectors Frederic Clay and Helen Birch Bartlett ensured that the institute acquired works by Picasso from the 1920s onwards, including The Old Guitarist.
In conclusion, I'd like to add that one piece of history I found rather interesting. When Picasso discovered the institute owned Mother and Child, 1921, he gave Hartmann (William Hartmann, the lead architect of the city’s Modernist civic centre, assiduously wooed the artist) a fragment of canvas featuring a man holding a fish, telling him to give it to the institute, which would know what it was. Conservators confirmed the piece formed part of the original composition and shows the child’s long-lost father.
I liked the articled and the way author discribed the facts. I dare say that it's really great that through the centuries people are still interested in eternal talent of Picasso.
