Going to Florence this Summer? Keep that MoMA Ticket!

Visitors to MoMA in New York should keep their admission ticket if they plan to visit Florence in the next few months.  The Palazzo Strozzi, which is currently staging the exhibition Picasso, Miró, Dalí. Angry Young Men: the Birth of Modernity until 17 July 2011, are offering visitors who present their MoMA ticket a 15% discount off admission to the Florence exhibition.  This show presents over sixty early works of three artists:  Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Salvador Dalí, as well as over one hundred of Picasso’s sketches.  In the 1907 Cahier 7, being shown in its entirety for the first time, we see the genesis of modern art with Picasso struggling to give birth to a new visual language – the language of modernity – in the very first sketches of his revolutionary work Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, one the artist’s greatest works on view at MoMA.  Having seen Picasso’s masterpiece in New York, this is an opportunity to see a great mind at work.
