Waiting for a Peggy's house, in the rooms destined for temporary exhibitions, arrive Many, Signac, Bonnard, Redon and their contemporaries, Peggy's collection at Palazzo Venier dei Leoni gives space to a precious selection of donations, rarely exhibited together with the American patron's masterpieces: The paratroopers (1944) of William Baziotes, Seal (1935) of Humphrey Jennings, a self-portrait (1937) by Rita Kernn-Larsen, a drawing Senza titolo (1939) of Roberto Sebastian Matta, Frottage (1932) of Roland Penrose, and again the bronze Double relief (1999) of Arnaldo Pomodoro. Unmissable are the artwork earrings created for Peggy by the abstract artist Alexander Calder and by the Surrealist Yves Tanguy, alongside the photographs that portray the collector herself, unique shots by masters such as Man Ray, Gisèle Freund, André Kertész e Berenice Abbott.
Over 40 works by the artist remain on display Hannelore B. and Rudolph B. Schulhof Collection, which since last October have found a home right on the Grand Canal, thus embellishing the museum and bringing it to touch the boundaries of the contemporary.
The garden of Nasher sculptures, green heart of the Collection, next to Alberto Giacometti, Anish Kapoor, Mario Merz, LeWitt sun, Anthony Caro, and many others, today also houses the monumental sculpture in Portuguese marble by the recently deceased American artist, Jene Highstein (1942-2013), Foot (1992)
