SINGAPORE Airlines hosted a reception at Sydney’s Art Gallery of NSW last night, previewing Picasso’s Masterpieces from the Musee National Picasso, Paris.
SQ’s travel partners enjoyed a private viewing of over 150 Picasso paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings from the artist’s personal collection which the airline brought to Australia.
“Tonight, we have Picasso to ourselves,” said James Dunne, the newly-appointed Singapore Airlines Manager NSW & ACT.
He said special care was taken to get the valuable artworks to Sydney with the paintings travelling in First class packed special crates to ensure the safe arrival of the precious cargo.
Already more than 55,000 local and interstate art lovers have booked to see the exhibition which is spread over 10 floors at the Art Gallery, and depicts Picasso’s life, his style, his love and his passion for art.
Picasso’s many lovers are also on display in the exhibition which runs until 25 Mar next year.
