BLT Gallery says:

Françoise Gilot is one of the premiere high modernists still working today, and with the recent death of Louise Bourgeois, we are endlessly confronted with the reality of the disappearance of artists whom obtain a truly historical awareness. Gilot's position is especially unique, as recounted in her memoir Life with Picasso, published in 1964, and more recently, Matisse and Picasso: A Friendship in Art, in 1990. Gilot garnered her own symbolic stature as a painter demonstrating the formalistic language developed in part by her associations to the most influential painters of the 20th century. Gilot has also published a monograph that covers her life work from 1945-2000, and BLT is especially honored to present her most recent monotypes that were executed from 2009-10.
