Exhibition description:
On the invitation of the Ministry of Culture of Chile, an exhibition dedicated to Peggy Guggenheim’s life and collection was mounted for the first time in South America. Approximately 80 paintings and sculptures represent the full span of her collection (Cubism, European Abstraction, Surrealism, American Abstract Expressionism and postwar European and American art), but have also been chosen to document major episodes in her career: her London gallery (Guggenheim Jeune), the presentation of her collection in New York (Art of This Century), her patronage of American artists, and her life in Venice. Works were loaned by the Guggenheim museums both in New York and Venice.

Partnerships:
Organized by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in collaboration with the Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes and Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda, Chile.
