Exhibition description:
Masterpieces of Futurism at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection celebrated the centenary year of the publication of the Futurist Manifesto. Taking as its focus the Futurist masterpieces of the Gianni Mattioli Collection, it served as a tribute to Mattioli’s foresight as a collector. The exhibition featured key paintings of the movement such as Materia (Boccioni), Mercury Passing Before the Sun (Balla), The Galleria of Milan (Carrà), and Blue Dancer (Severini). The exhibition included works from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Severini’s Sea = Dancer, Balla’s Abstract Speed + Sound, and Boccioni’s sculpture Dynamism of a Speeding Horse + Houses), as well as loans from private collections by Balla, Boccioni, Carrà, and Sironi. In addition, it marked the debut of a recent gift to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, Sironi’s early masterpiece The Cyclist (1916).
