May 2010: the return of HAPPYSPRITZ@GUGGENHEIM!
After its successful debut in 2009, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Aperol invite visitors to HAPPYSPRITZ@GUGGENHEIM, the ‘art’ aperitif, which last year attracted to the museum over 4,000 people who shared a cocktail of culture, music and Aperol in the magical setting of Palazzo Venier dei Leoni. Every Monday in May (3, 10, 17, 24 and 31), from 7pm till 9.30pm, Peggy’s palazzo will open its doors again to young people, as well as the less young, for an evening rendezvous in the name of art, music and spritz.

“Two in One” is a project born from imagining the impressions and sensations that might result when the works of two different artists convene in a single space. Each month MOdenArte reserves an area inside its gallery for the presentation of such a combination, providing the possibility for Italian and international artists to juxtapose their artistic approaches to various themes. The pairings are developed by contrasting or similar poetics and heterogeneous aesthetics.

In 1958, Peggy Guggenheim was photographed by celebrated Italian photographer Nino Migliori (b. 1929) in her Venetian home, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, now the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, which celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this year. Led by his considerable intellectual curiosity, Nino Migliori spent much time in Venice in the late 1950s. He frequented artists such as Emilio Vedova, Tancredi Parmeggiani, Giuseppe Santomaso, Virgilio Guidi and occasionally even Peggy Guggenheim, who was a focal point for Italian Abstract painters in post-war years, particularly Vedova and Tancredi.
30 YEARS ON: Peggy Guggenheim Collection
“To live in Venice or even to visit it means that you fall in love with the city itself. There is nothing left over in your heart for anyone else.” This well-known sentiment, from an essay by Peggy Guggenheim in a 1962 book by Michelangelo Muraro (Invitation to Venice), expresses the American collector’s feelings about Venice, where, after a nomadic life between Europe and the United States, she decided to make her home in 1948. A year later she acquired Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, on the Grand Canal, where she both lived and exhibited her collection of modern art, opening the palazzo to the public each summer from 1951 to 1979. At Easter 1980, not long after Peggy Guggenheim’s death (23 December 1979), Palazzo Venier opened to the public for the first time under the auspices of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York.

has been countered by the paradoxically dictatorial precepts upon which it must be founded.
