European Art: 1949-1979

European Art: 1949-1979
Marion R. Taylor: Paintings, 1966-2001
Peggy Guggenheim Collection
February 29 – May 6, 2012
From February 29 through May 6, 2012 the Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents European Art, 1949-1979: a selection of works from the museum’s holdings of postwar European painting and sculpture, largely from the period 1949-79, will be installed in the museum’s temporary exhibition galleries. This exhibition documents how Peggy Guggenheim continued to collect even after her withdrawal from New York, center of the artistic avant-garde, in 1947, the year she closed her museum-gallery Art of This Century. This exhibition is therefore a celebration of Peggy Guggenheim’s Venetian life and her residence in Palazzo Venier dei Leoni.
