Exhibition description:
The exhibition took a sequence of international case studies from the early 19th century through 1933—when the ascendancy of Fascism and Stalinism curbed or negatively reframed such projects—and examined the evolution of utopian ideas in modern Western artistic thought and practice. The movements addressed were: Les Primitifs, the Nazarenes, the Pre-Raphaelites, William Morris and Arts and Crafts, the Cornish Art Colony, Neo-Impressionism, De Stijl, the Bauhaus, and Russian Constructivism.

Partnerships:
Organized by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin.
