Jean Wagener Nancy Pierce Watts Ruth Westen Pavese Sponsor's Statement Peggy Guggenheim: A Celebration pays homage to the lifework of a unique woman. Like her uncle Solomon R. Guggenheim, whose initiative created the museum in New York, Peggy—with her uncompromising passion for art—laid a cornerstone for the international scope of the Guggenheim today. When, in 1995, Hugo Boss and the Guggenheim Museum decided to enter into a partnership, a new model of sponsorship was born—a creative collaboration whose driving force is the continuous exchange of ideas and thoughts transcending borders. Just as Peggy Guggenheim championed contemporary art, we have made it our goal to recognize and promote innovation in the arts by teaming up with the Guggenheim Museum in New York to establish the Hugo Boss Prize, a biennial award to an artist whose work represents a major aesthetic achievement or significant development in contemporary art. In this way, we feel connected to her spirit. Peggy Guggenheim was more than a collector of contempo- rary art. She was a patron with esprit and unmistakable style. This book is illustrated with artworks from the renowned Peggy Guggenheim Collection and photographs that document her life. Also shown is a selection of pages from Peggy's guest books; the signatures and drawings on these pages are a remarkable record of the international art community that visited her during her years in Venice. Published on the occasion of an exhibition with which we are proud to have been associated, Peggy Guggenheim: A Celebration offers a rare and inspiring experience. HUGO BOSS Foreword Peggj Guggenheim was among the most important and original figures to play a role in the ari of this century. The centennial of her birth provides the perfect occasion to consider her endur- ing influence on the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, an entity that was founded independently but came to encompass her lasting heritage, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. For me, as for its many visitors, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection is an indelible aspect of the Venice experience. Peggy settled in this fabled city in the last part of an eventful and fascinating life. And. although she had lived with a stubborn independence, it was to the organization founded by her uncle, another towering, but altogether different, art patron, that she bequeathed her legacy— the extraordinary collection of Modern painting and sculpture she assembled and the palazzo on Venice's Grand Canal that houses it. The Guggenheim Foundation was founded in 1937 to realize four basic objectives: the collection, preservation, interpretation. and presentation of objects of twentieth-century visual culture. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection was the first European venue for the Guggenheim, and the inspiration for the vision that has led to our more recent multinational expansion. With the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin, both of which opened to the public in the fall of 1997. the Guggenheim has solidified its international presence. My predecessor as director of the Guggenheim, Thomas M. Messer, played a pivotal role in bringing the Peggy Guggenheim Collection into the Guggenheim Foundation. Though this event may seem, from our vantage, to have been preordained. m fact it was anything but. (For a chronicle of the complex story behind the bequest, see "The History of a Courtship" in this volume.) Under Tom's direction, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni were fully profession- alized, through physical improvements and the development of a dedicated museum staff: in time, a program of temporary exhibitions was introduced to complement the permanent collec- tion. In L993, the palazzo and its garden were renovated and the museum enlarged to include a neighboring two-story building. While special exhibitions have given the institution an added luster, it is Peggy's collection that continues to Berve a- the institution's greatest draw, luring some 250,000 visitors annually. The collection, however, has been augmented through extended loans of Modern and contemporary sculpture from the Patsy R. and Raymond D. Nasher Collection, and early twentieth-century Italian art from the Gianni Mattioli Collection. With a new tradition of development and growth, the future of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection promises to be as bright as its past. It is that illustrious past that is so elegantly captured in

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.

When La Biennale di Venezia Meets History does not just convey the content that visitors to the Central Pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale will encounter, but also a vision. Disquiet serves as a driving force behind research, which requires dialogue to verify its theories and needs history to absorb knowledge. This is what La Biennale does and will continue to do as it seeks to reinforce a methodology that creates even stronger bonds between its own disciplines. There are six Muses at the Biennale: Art, Architecture, Cinema, Theatre, Music and Dance, given a voice through the great events that fill Venice and the world every year. There are the places that serve as venues for all of La Biennale’s activities: the Giardini, the Arsenale, the Palazzo del Cinema and other cinemas on the Lido, the theatres, the city of Venice itself.

  • The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter
    Ben Ferber The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter I have no doubt that history will recognize Harold Pinter as one of the most influential dramatists of all time, a perennial inspiration for the way we look at modern theater. If other playwrights use characters and plots to put life under a microscope for audiences, Pinter hands them a kaleidoscope and says, “Have at it.” He crafts multifaceted plays that speak to the depth of his reality and teases and threatens his audience with dangerous truths. In No Man’s Land, Pinter has Hirst attack Spooner, who may or may not be his old friend: “This is outrageous! Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”1 Hirst then launches into a monologue beginning: “I might even show you my photograph album. You might even see a face in it which might remind you of your own, of what you once were.”2 Pinter never fully resolves Spooner’s identity, but the mens’ actions towards each other are perfectly clear: with exacting language and wit, Pinter has constructed a magnificent struggle between the two for power and identity. In 1958, early in his career, Pinter wrote The Hothouse, an incredibly funny play based on a traumatic personal experience as a lab rat at London’s Maudsley Hospital, proudly founded as a modern psychiatric institution, rather than an asylum. The story of The Hothouse, set in a mental hospital of some sort, is centered around the death of one patient, “6457,” and the unexplained pregnancy of another, “6459.” Details around both incidents are very murky, but varying amounts of culpability for both seem to fall on the institution’s leader, Roote, and his second-in- command, Gibbs.

  • APRIL 2006 Charles Seliger with Phong Bui and John Yau by John
    APRIL 2006 Charles Seliger with Phong Bui and John Yau by John Yau and Phong Bui On a sunny afternoon of last month, Rail publisher Phong Bui and art editor John Yau drove up to Mount Vernon to visit the home/studio of the painter Charles Seliger to talk about his life and work in conjunction with the current exhibit of his new paintings at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery (on view until May 13). While the three of us were sitting down for lunch after our conversation with his wife, Lenore, Seliger, in his casual and genteel manner, demonstrated an unusual gift—in a matter of less than five minutes, he duplicated all the American Presidents’ signatures nearly in order from memory. The list is included here in these pages. John Yau: The first observation I want to make is how much your work has changed. As far back as I can remember, paint has been your central medium, but you’ve recently been using colored pencils. Charles Seliger: It’s something I’ve wanted to try for a long time, to experiment and see what the results would be. I managed to prepare a surface with various mattegels and modeling paste, so that I could draw on it with colored pencils. There were limitations with pencils; you’re locked into their colors and can’t do very much blending. I explored it as far as I think I can go. But what I’ve accomplished satisfied me enough. Actually, three works in the show are made with this technique. Yau: You’ve gone as far as you can with colored pencils? Seliger: Yes, I think so.

Curata in collaborazione con il Centre Georges Pompidou di Parigi e la Tate Modern di Londra, la mostra riafferma il ruolo primario del Futurismo nel complesso disegno del lessico artistico delle prime avanguardie. A sottolineare la collaborazione tra le tre prestigiose istituzioni, ogni sede ha declineto il comune progetto iniziale secondo il segno della propria ottica, evidenziando la partecipazione a quella idea fondante e comune di rinnovamento e tensione verso il futuro che il Futurismo ha significato.

Taking along a bottle of wine or, worst case scenario, a box of chocolates for the hostess, not to mention presenting colleagues with copies of my books, well, that's not a problem. But offering bouquets of flowers or perfumes to ladies of the heart, well, I could count such cases on one hand alone and, in any case, such affairs do bear an increasingly foreign fragrance.
