Exhibition description:
Peggy Guggenheim. Un amore per la scultura was organized in collaboration with the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Verona. The show presented sculptures from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Peggy’s zeal for sculpture was evident in the exhibition of contemporary sculpture that she organized at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni in 1949. This display was aimed at a young audience and offered an introduction to modern art through various sculptural expressions, from figuration to abstraction, with emphasis on Cubism and Surrealism.
