...world was busy celebrating Pablo Picasso's 85th birthday last week. Some dozen exhibitions have opened from Lapland to the Los Angeles County Museum and Macy's department store in New York City. Bags full of mail and telegrams arrived at Mougins, a tiny town above the bay at Cannes on the French Riviera, where Picasso lives. Grateful citizens of Vallauris, the town Picasso resurrected by reviving its pottery industry, sent a huge bouquet of red roses with a white dove in a cage, and their children sent batches of their best crayon drawings. His wife Jacqueline...

Today there is scarcely a city worthy of the name that does not have its own thriving cultural life. Chicago, for example, recently accepted the design for a massive sculpture by Pablo Picasso as the frontispiece for the new city center-a work that even the most hip of critics has had two thoughts about. Some of the most enterprising U.S. opera companies, who have scooped the Met time and again in importing distinguished foreign stars from Callas to Caballe, are in Dallas, Chicago...

The sculpture is obviously the head of a large male mandrill baboon-and in what better jungle could he make his home...
...cadeau pour Chicago," said Pablo Picasso. "It's a donation, a gift for Chicago." With those words, the Windy City became the recipient of one of the most magnificent windfalls in its history: Picasso's $100,-000 design for a 50-ft. sculpture to stand in front of the city's new $87 million civic center. Also without charge, the Spanish master-who will turn 85 next month-threw in his original 42-in. maquette for the Chicago Art Institute...
