Diana Widmaier Picasso, art historian and granddaughter of Pablo Picasso and Marie-Thérèse, and Picasso biographer John Richardson, discuss organizing the Gagosian Gallery’s new exhibition, Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’amour fou. It brings together the paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints inspired by one of Picasso’s most ideal models and enduring passions. She became the catalyst for some of his most exceptional work, from groundbreaking paintings to an inspired return to sculpture in the 1930s, yet her true identity remained a secret from even Picasso’s closest friends.

Actually you raised a great question, Leonard, and you should ask Larry the question of what makes his gallery the place where shows lie this can happen, vs museums.
What happened to Marie-Therese?
I'd like to learn more about Marie-Thérèse and her relationship with Picasso. Were there any notable books written about their relationship?
