There is some huge news for art lovers in the country. For the first time in the Middle East, Qatar will host artworks of 20th century’s most famous painters — Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966).

Qatar Museums, the Mus`e national Picasso and Fondation Giacometti will jointly hold the exhibition at the Fire Station beginning February 23, 2017 until May 21, reported Qatar Tribune.

The major exhibition will bring together more than 120 works by the two artists, consisting of paintings, sculptures, sketches, photographs and interviews with the artists.

The exhibition will reflect the previously unknown friendship between these two artists, who, despite an age gap of 20 years, shared many moments, both personal and professional.

The exhibition is organised in six sections. Some of Picasso’s key works — Self Portrait (1901), Woman Throwing a Stone (1931) and The She Goat (1950) — will be put on display. Giacometti’s Flower in Danger (1932), Tall Woman (1960), and Walking Man (1960) will also be on show.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of lectures and an extensive education programme, as well as a self-guided handbook for the visitors.

Why 13 times? Why not just "three" times? Have the numbers now undergone a change from that of the past?

I just wish to meet you only once during your visits. It is my life-long desire. Can this meeting be coordinated?
