Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero

Palazzo Strozzi, Florence

This major exhibition brings to Florence over one hundred works, many of them masterpieces, of European and American art from the 1920s to the 1960s, in a narrative that turns on the relationship and the ties across two sides of the Atlantic through two leading American collectors, Peggy and Solomon Guggenheim. The exhibition – a joint project of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York – will offer a unique opportunity to compare and contrast the work of European masters of Modernism such as Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst and Paul Klee, as well as European masters of Art Informel such as Alberto Burri, Emilio Vedova, Jean Dubuffet, and Lucio Fontana, with paintings and sculptures by personalities of the American scene in the 1950s and 1960s such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein and Cy Twombly.
