• Resumen

  • Having arrived in Italy after the Second World War, Peggy Guggenheim immediately began displaying her rich collection of contemporary art. Starting with the celebrated exhibition at the 24th Venice Biennale, the collection was presented on many other occasions, in Italy and abroad, especially in the period between the end of the 1940s and the early 1950s. The Venetian archives have now yielded documents which have been forgotten for decades, showing how well-known and throughly-studied exhibitions alternated with others of which all trace had been lost until now. The evidence is important because is allows for a clearer profile of Peggy Guggenheim as an enlightened patron and tireless promoter of her own collection.
