Themes and variations. The empire of light
Edited by Luca Massimo Barbero
February 1 – April 14, 2014
The innovative and consolidated curatorial formula conceived by Luca Massimo Barbero for the works and spaces of the Venetian museum, born in 2002, reaches its fourth edition, with the constant desire to guide the observer towards a new understanding of the works, known and less known, from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection through the dense and multi-interpretative dialogue between the works of historical masters and contemporary artists, coming from other collections. Inside the same rooms, masterpieces belonging to the avant-gardes of the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries are confronted thematically and scientifically with works from the post-war period, until they reach the boundaries of the contemporary.

A private collection, from Mannerism to Surrealism
Edited by Andreas Beyer
May 17 – August 31, 2014
In an era in which the multiplicity of media, techniques and genres no longer identifies only a single typology of artistic practice but has gradually influenced the production of art in a broader and more generic sense, the private collection from which this exhibition is a perfect model, peculiar, even pioneering, in its juxtaposition of sculptures, paintings and other artifacts ranging from the Middle Ages to today. The collection features works by, among others, Arnold Böcklin, Victor Brauner, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Giorgio de Chirico, Francesco Clemente, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Man Ray and Andy Warhol, all exhibited here for the first time Together.
AZIMUTH/H. Continuity and new
Edited by Luca Massimo Barbero
September 13, 2014 – January 12, 2015
In a post-war period marked by great experiments, great masters and international comparison, the cultural and expressive centrality of Azimut emerges, a gallery and magazine founded in 1959 by Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani. Diversified by the handwriting, Azimut (the gallery) and Azimuth (the magazine) formalize a new aesthetic conception also favored by the intense relationship developed with some of the major protagonists of the Italian and international linguistic and theoretical investigation of those years. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection participates in the widespread celebrations of the avant-garde of the 60s with a lunge both on the Italian protagonists of this generation and on the European and American internationality activated by Azimut.
