Masterpieces of Futurism at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection
February 18 – December 31, 2009
Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice
"In the centenary year of the publication of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s founding manifesto of Italian Futurism, this special installation in the permanent galleries of the museum focuses on the Futurist masterpieces of the Gianni Mattioli Collection, with additional paintings, sculptures and works on paper from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and other private collections. This small but mighty presentation includes iconic paintings by each of the five artists who signed the Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting in 1910, Balla, Boccioni, Carrà, Russolo and Severini, and by other artists related to the movement (Rosai, Sironi, Soffici). A preliminary section alludes to related contemporary avant-gardes (Divisionism, Cubism, Orphism, Vorticism)."
