During a short trip to South West Germany, we visited Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. Although more known as “the cradle of the automobile” with several related attractions such as the Mercedes Benz Museum, Stuttgart is also home to one of the country’s most popular museums. Staatsgalerie Stuttgart houses an extensive collection of European and international masterworks dating from the Fourteenth century to the present, with a special focus on Classical Modern art (1900 to 1980). Among the collection’s most impressive highlights is a large-scale group of sculptures, "Bathers" by Pablo Picasso. The 6-piece sculptural ensemble is a particularly unique work by the artist for it is the only multi-figure sculptural work of his career. It did not leave in his studio and only a single sculpture (The Young Man, 1958) was cast in bronze to be exhibited. Furthermore, the work captures important themes from Picasso’s practice: bathers, cubism, and sculpture. The museum added the work to its collection in 1981, and has since exhibited it with the permanent collection as well as in international exhibitions including Picasso: Bathers (2005) at Staatsgalerie Stuttgart and Picasso’s Sculptures (2015) at MoMA in New York.
