THE PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION TURNS 30 YEARS
January 1–December 31, 2010
Every summer, from 1951 to 1979, Peggy Guggenheim opened her collection of modern art to the public. Easter 1980, a few short months after Peggy Guggenheim’s death (December 23, 1979), Palazzo Venier dei Leoni reopened its doors under the management of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. It has become the most important museum in Italy for European and American art from the first half of the 20th Century. In 2010, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the museum with a series of meetings and events, looking ahead with the spirit of openness and innovation that has always characterized the last dogaressa, Peggy Guggenheim.
