An exhibition looking back at Peggy Guggenheim’s years in the UK and groundbreaking London gallery, 88 years after it opened.
Peggy Guggenheim in London: The Making of a Collector reveals the formative years spent in the UK by one of the 20th century’s most influential art patrons.
The exhibition revisits Guggenheim’s first London gallery, Guggenheim Jeune, which became a hub for avant-garde artists, showcasing groundbreaking developments in Surrealism, abstraction, and contemporary sculpture. Key works from the gallery's pioneering exhibitions are reunited, as well as pieces by Eileen Agar, Salvador Dalí, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Vasily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
