The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid has loaned Francis Picabia’s ‘The Rush’ to an exhibition in Céret, in France’s Occitanie region. The painting, which belongs to the museum’s collections, was made in 1914.
The work is being presented in ‘Picabia, Méditerranée. Picasso, Delaunay, Laurencin…’, an exhibition organized by MAM Céret. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum announced the loan in a Spanish-language post published on 20 August 2026, stating that the painting had travelled to Céret to form part of the exhibition.
The exhibition’s title places Picabia’s work in a Mediterranean-focused context alongside references to Pablo Picasso, Robert Delaunay and Marie Laurencin. The announcement identifies Picabia’s 1914 painting as part of the Thyssen’s collection but does not provide further details about the work’s medium, dimensions or interpretation within the exhibition.
The loan extends the Madrid museum’s collection activity beyond Spain through a temporary presentation of one of its Picabia holdings at MAM Céret. The source announcement does not specify the exhibition’s opening or closing dates, nor does it list additional participating works or lenders.
‘Picabia, Méditerranée. Picasso, Delaunay, Laurencin…’ is being held in Céret, Occitanie, with ‘The Rush’ included among the works on view.
