The Guggenheim Experience

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is among the most important museums in Italy for European and American art of the first half of the 20th century. It is located in Peggy Guggenheim's former home, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, on the Grand Canal in Venice. The museum presents Peggy Guggenheim's personal collection, masterpieces from the Hannelore B. and Rudolph B. Schulhof collection, a sculpture garden as well as temporary exhibitions. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is owned and operated by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which also operates the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

THE NATURE OF ARP
April 13 – September 2, 2019

The exhibition investigates in depth the achievements of Jean (Hans) Arp, one of the most important and multifaceted artists of the modern era, whose experimental approach to creation, radical rethinking of traditional art forms, and collaborative proclivities resonate with the wide-ranging character of art today.

CROSSROADS

In the 30 years between 1949 and 1979, Peggy Guggenheim lived in Venice surrounded by local and international artists and intellectuals, who visited her home and her collection.

Croassroads is a series of meetings with artists, scholars, curators, and writers to learn and explore themes connected to both the permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions: original critiques and points of view on aspects of the life and the collection of Peggy Guggenheim.
