The Hall of Mirrors of the Malaga City Hall hosts the presentation of the latest issue of the Litoral Magazine 'Picasso de nunca acabar' dedicated to the Malaga artist.
The event, which will take place this Tuesday, February 27 at 19.00 hours, will be attended by the mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre, along with the councilor delegate of Culture and Historical Heritage, Mariana Pineda; the commissioner of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso, representing the National Commission, Carlos Alberdi; the director of the magazine Litoral, Lorenzo Saval, and Picasso's biographer Rafael Inglada.
In addition, Leopoldo Sanchez Rodriguez, head of Public Administration Eastern Andalusia, will also attend, representing Telefonica, collaborating company of the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023 in Spain.

The issue features reproductions of artists like Amadeo Modigliani, Ramon Casas, Dali, Juan Gris, Botero, Basquiat, Equipo Cronica, Chicano, Yan Pei-Ming, Cristian Guèmy, Yukimasa Ida, Maria de Campos or Lou Dubois, who interpreted the face of the Malaga-born artist in multiple ways in their works.
