The Frick’s Picasso exhibit is the largest collection from that artist in New York in decades. It chronicles Picasso’s artistic development, starting from the first known picture drawn and signed by Picasso (he was around eight or nine years old at the time).
The interesting thing about this exhibit is that it doesn’t seem to explore the private life of Picasso at all, and contains no pictures of the artist himself. It focuses solely on the development of his art. I think it would be interesting to see how his styles developed and changed over the years.

Interesting. The Frick rarely ventures into the 20th Century. It is interesting to see a show there that focuses on so iconic a 20th Century (read: Modern) figure as Picasso. Should be worth a trip!
