Shortly before the Imagine Picasso immersive art exhibit opened at Pullman Yards in Atlanta, Annabelle Mauger was on a video call with the director of the Picasso administration, conducting a final walk-through.

“The first thing that they want to see is that we are respecting the work of Pablo Picasso,” said Mauger. “It’s a real support for me, it’s very important,” Mauger said of working so closely with those in charge of Picasso’s estate.

Mauger is co-directing Imagine Picasso, which runs through June 19 in Atlanta. The exhibit includes a retrospective on the artist’s career, photos of him in his studio and some 200 reproduced pieces of his artwork.
