Guggenheim Full Abstraction Press Release Brussels • October 2016 Guggenheim Full Abstraction ING Art Center Place Royale 6 – 1000 Brussels 19 October 2016 – 12 February 2017 Opening 19 October 2016, ING Art Center in Brussels will present an impressive set of works from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and the Solomon Guggenheim Collection in New York. Many of these are masterpieces representing the American and European Post- War Abstract Expressionist streams, dating from the 40’s to the 60’s. The exhibition will present a number of works realised by artists shown for the first time ever in Brussels. The exhibition will be a narrative that reconstructs relationships and ties across the Atlantic through the museums of two American collectors—Peggy Guggenheim and Solomon R. Guggenheim. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, associate curator of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, the exhibition – a joint venture of the ING Art Center and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York – offers visitors an exceptional opportunity to view parts of the collections of the museums of both Solomon and his niece Peggy together through the work of some of the greatest figures in 20th century art. Opening with masterpieces by such major artists as Duchamp and Max Ernst, the exhibition goes on to explore post-war developments on both sides of the Atlantic with the Informalism of European masters such as Alberto Burri, Emilio Vedova, Jean Dubuffet and Lucio Fontana, and with work by leading figures on the American art scene from the 1940s to the 1960s, through a large selection of masterpieces by Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Alexander Calder with the so-called ‘mobiles and stabiles’, alongside work by Willem de Kooning, Sam Francis, Robert Motherwell, Cy Twombly and others. The paintings and sculptures from the Guggenheim Collections in New York and Venice, as well as from a small number of other museums and private collections, offer the visitor a unique opportunity to admire and compare some of the great masterpieces which played a crucial role in defining the very concept of post-war 20th Century art. ART FROM THE GUGGENHEIM COLLECTIONS The exhibition will be a testament to the importance of the two collections and confirms the crucial role played by Peggy and Solomon Guggenheim in the history of 20th century art. On the one hand, it will feature Solomon Robert Guggenheim (1861– 1949). Under the guiding hand of German painter and Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, who was to become the first director of the Guggenheim in New York, he opened a Museum of Non-Objective Painting in 1939 based on the purist notion of abstraction as an absence of figures, and on Kandinsky's art in particular. Four years later he commissioned the innovative and visionary architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design the famous museum on Fifth Avenue that was to open in 1959. On the other hand, it will feature Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979), who opted for more transversal collecting open to a variety of movements of her time. Her commitment to contemporary art began when she was almost forty years of age. Following the advice of historian and critic Herbert Read and of friends such as Marcel Duchamp, Howard Putzel and Nellie van Doesburg, she focused on European movements such as Cubism and Surrealism, in addition to the various abstract avant-garde movements. Her collection was eventually to include works of American Abstract Expressionism by artists such as Jackson Pollock and Robert Motherwell, which she showed in New York over the course of the short but intense and productive period during which she operated her Art of This Century Gallery (1942–47), prior to opening her museum in the Palazzo Venier in Venice in 1951. When Solomon died in 1949, his New York museum was named after him and, under its new director James Johnson Sweeney, it expanded its collecting beyond abstraction and its sources, focusing in particular on post-war European and American works, thus becoming a truly comprehensive museum of modern and contemporary art. Solomon's original collection was to grow over the years, acquiring other collections such as the legacy of Karl Nierendorf (1948), the Justin K. Thannhauser collection (1976), the collection of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo (1990–92), major donations from the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation (1992) and the Bohen Foundation (2001), and, most recently, eighty works of postwar American and European art (2012), including several masterpieces from the collection of Hannelore B. and Rudolph B. Schulhof. A crucial moment in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation’s internationalisation was marked by Peggy Guggenheim's donation of her collection in Venice to the Foundation in 1976. THE EXHIBITION The exhibition explores several artistic themes. The ING Art Center offers an introduction to the two great collectors of the Guggenheim family: Peggy, with the Art of This Century Gallery in New York, and Solomon, with the famous Frank Lloyd Wright museum. A major timeline documented with archive pictures, documents, film fragments, etc. will give the visitors the chance to discover the impact of these two main collectors for 20th Century art both in the US and in Europe. The presentation of artworks starts with a selection highlighting Peggy's career as a collector and her affinity for Surrealism. The two are surrounded by an important selection of artists who based their practice on surrealism and paved the way to abstraction, such as Roberto Matta, who introduced William Baziotes and Clyfford Still to an expressionist abstraction. The next room is devoted to Jackson Pollock and his astonishingly original developments in painting. Such a selection of art pieces is a first in Belgium. The major exhibition hall focuses on the post-war Abstract Expressionism of Willem de Kooning, Hans Hoffmann, Sam Francis and on pictorial trends that were coming to maturity in the States during the same years as Colour Field Painting in the 50s. Major emphasis is given to the work of Mark Rothko, whose potential Peggy recognised early, and to the works of Adolf Gottlieb, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell and others. A large selection of Calder's mobiles, some suspended from the ceiling, will complete the set. The major works of European artists from this same period have a very particular effect when hanging together in groups. Here we highlight very important works by Lucio Fontana, Jean Dubuffet, and Alberto Burri. The exhibition concludes with artistic research in the United States in 60s Post Painterly Abstraction or so-called Colour Field Painting. Major works from Cy Twombly, Frank Stella, Kenneth Noland, Ellsworth Kelly and others will constitute a major ensemble for the last part of the exhibition in order to familiarise visitors with important American art works from the generation that followed. The exhibition is organised by the ING Art Center and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York and Venice, with the recognition of both the US and Italian Embassies in Belgium.

    Palazzo Venier dei Leoni 701 Dorsoduro 30123 Venezia, Italy Telephone 041 2405 411 Telefax 041 5206885 Press release THEMES AND VARIATIONS POST-WAR ART FROM THE GUGGENHEIM COLLECTIONS February 2 – August 4, 2002 On Friday 1st February 2002, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, will inaugurate Themes and Variations – Post-war Art from the Guggenheim Collections. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, this 6-month cycle of installations will assemble paintings, sculptures and works on paper - both European and American, but predominantly Italian – from the holdings of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York, with a small number of additional private loans. This dynamic and innovative project sets out to provide a fuller understanding and contextualization of the post-war works in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. A series of three two-month installations – examining in turn a succession of movements and artists with which Peggy Guggenheim was affiliated first in New York and later Venice - will present works by a strong group of post-war 20th century artists, including Edmondo Bacci, Francis Bacon, César, Joseph Cornell, Jean Dubuffet, Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Giacometti, Asger Jorn, Bice Lazzari, René Magritte, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson, Mimmo Rotella, Giuseppe Santomaso, Tancredi, Laurence Vail, Victor Vasarely and Emilio Vedova. Themes and Variations provides an opportunity to present for the first time recent acquisitions of post-war art, including important works by Carla Accardi, Agostino Bonalumi, Costantino Nivola, Mimmo Rotella and Toti Scialoja, alongside previously acquired works by Edmondo Bacci, Lucio Fontana, Conrad Marca-Relli, Giuseppe Santomaso and Armando Pizzinato. A series of private loans will further strengthen the representation of Italian post-war art; it is in this context that the work of Mirko Basaldella will be presented in depth in the course of the initial February- March installation.

    You may download and print this text by Roberta Serpolli, solely for personal use THE PANZA COLLECTION STORY “The Panza Collection is entirely a couple’s affair. When my wife Giovanna and I discover works by a new artist, I look at her and she looks at me. I can see in her eyes if she wants to buy or not. So even between my wife and me, ‘looking’ is an issue.” Giuseppe Panza, 20091 Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, along with his wife Giovanna, is recognized as one of the world’s foremost collectors of contemporary art. The collection, originally composed of around 2,500 works of art, is mainly representative of the most significant developments in American art from post- World War II to the 21st century. Along with a need to fulfill spiritual and inner quests, both intuition and reflection have inspired the collectors’ choice that would demonstrate, retrospectively, their far- sightedness. By devoting themselves to an in-depth focus on emerging artists and specific creative periods, the Panzas contributed to acknowledging the new art forms among both the general public and the art market. The Beginnings of the Collection: On the Road to America The collection ideally began in 1954 when Giuseppe, at the age of thirty years, traveled to South America and the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, where he discovered the continents’ captivating vitality of economy and culture. Upon his return to Milan, he felt the need to take part in the international cultural milieu. In 1955, shortly after his marriage with Giovanna Magnifico, Giuseppe purchased his first work of art by Italian abstract painter Atanasio Soldati.

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.

  • Alberto Burri: the Art of the Matter
    Alberto Burri: The Art of the Matter Judith Rozner A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Volume I – Text Volume II - Illustration March 2015 School of Culture and Communication. The University of Melbourne. Produced on archival quality paper i VOLUME I ii For Avraham and Malka Ur iii iv ABSTRACT "Alberto Burri, an Italian artist of the immediate post WWII period, introduced common, everyday materials into his art. In so doing material became both the subject of his work as well as the object out of which the work was made. This thesis argues that the primary purpose of Burri's work throughout his career was to provoke a tactile, sensuous response in the viewer, a response which can best be understood through the lens of phenomenology." v vi DECLARATION This is to certify that: I. The thesis comprises only my original work. II. Due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used. III. The thesis is less than 100.000 words in length exclusive of tables, maps, bibliography and appendices. Judith Rozner vii viii Preface In 1999, following an introduction by a mutual friend, I was invited by Minsa Craig- Burri, the widow of the artist Alberto Burri, to help her compile a biography of her life with her husband.1 I stayed and worked on the manuscript at their home at 59, Blvd. Eduard VII, in Beaulieu-sur-Mar, in the South of France for about six weeks. I had not seen the artist’s work before my arrival, and on my first encounter with it I just shrugged my shoulders and raised my eyebrows at the high prices it commanded in the market.

    CENTRO INTERUNIVERSITARIO DI STUDI VENETI * BIBLIOTECA VENETA CARTE DEL CONTEMPORANEO a cura di silvana tamiozzo goldmann 3 Con « Carte del Contemporaneo » si inaugura, per il Centro Interuniversitario di Studi Veneti, una nuova stagione. « Biblioteca veneta » si trasforma: non piú (non soltanto) collezione di edizioni e di ricerche letterarie e filologiche, ma sistema ar- ticolato dell’intera attività del CISVe. Sotto la sua ombra protettiva si vogliono svi- luppare, in forma di collane, progetti editoriali dedicati ad ambiti diversi ma tutti ancorati alla storia e alla cultura delle Venezie: oltre agli studi sulla testualità lette- raria Antico Regime e moderna (terreno abituale degli studiosi che finora hanno alimentato il palchetto della nostra collezione), la ricerca sulla letteratura contem- poranea, sui fondi librari (manoscritti e a stampa), sulle fonti d’archivio, sulla storia linguistica e socio-culturale. «Carte del Contemporaneo » è la prima di queste collane, dedicata alla ricerca sulla cultura del Novecento veneto, vista attraverso una lente particolare, i docu- menti d’archivio; essa nasce innanzitutto come estensione editoriale dell’Archivio omonimo, creato per impulso di Silvana Tamiozzo Goldmann e di Francesco Bru- ni, e ospitato nella sede del CISVe, dove oggi sono conservati, per la comunità degli studiosi, i fondi Ernesto Calzavara, Pier Maria Pasinetti, Armando Pizzinato, Carlo Della Corte. La collana intende essere il luogo in cui filologia materiale, critica genetica e ana- lisi letteraria possano agire perché le pratiche della catalogazione e della conserva- zione dei beni d’archivio siano anche il lievito vitale della ricezione critica di testi e autori; essa ospiterà quindi edizioni di inediti e di epistolari, studi filologici e critici, repertori catalografici, che abbiano come oggetto le carte inedite depositate nel- l’Archivio, e come fine la loro interpretazione e valorizzazione.

My approach – both in this book and in the wider project – has been to consider Calton Hill as a central node in a network of ideas, events, people and spaces. As such, the essays in this book are not about Calton Hill, but instead represent a view from it, or more specifically, a view from a building positioned on its peak: the City Observatory.

  • Emilio Vedova Foundation
    GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC EMILIO VEDOVA FOUNDATION HISTORICAL SURVEY PARIS MARAIS 18 Oct 2018 - 05 Jan 2019 Opening: Thursday 18 October, 6pm - 10pm Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac presents the first historical survey of Venetian artist Emilio Vedova in France, in collaboration with the Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova. Emilio Vedova, A Historical Survey can be seen through a retrospective lens spanning the years 1950 to 1985 with a special focus on the early 1980s, a key period in the artist’s career. The exhibition features representative works from his most acclaimed series, including Plurimi (1961–63), ...Cosiddetti Carnevali... (1977–83), Da Dove(1984) and Di Umano(1985) and Oltre(1985). Emilio Vedova (b. Venice, 1919–2006) is regarded as one of the most influential Italian artists of the second half of the 20thcentury. He was a politically engaged artist who believed revolutionary art had to be abstract. He pushed painting into new territories with his visceral and gestural works that engage the viewer and redefine the space they inhabit. His expressive strokes and smears of paint convey a raw and violent reaction to the political reality of the post-war period. “My works are not creations but earthquake” says Vedova “not paintings, but breaths of air…” Self-taught, it is difficult to place him in the framework of a specific artistic movement. In 1942, he joined the Milanese anti-fascist group Corrente, which had also included fellow artists Lucio Fontana and Renato Guttuso among others. In 1946, he was one of the co-signers of the Beyond Guernica manifesto, which urged artists to engage with reality without being naturalistic.

    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.

Luigi Nono Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac presents Prometheus, A Tragedy about Listening, an exhibition retracing one of the most important cross-disciplinary collaborations of the latter part of the 20th century. Including ephemera, letters, musical scores, archival materials and models, the exhibition provides precious insight into the making of the project and underlines its collaborative aspect. Prometeo, Tragedia dell’ascolto [Prometheus, A Tragedy about Listening] is an opera composed by Luigi Nono, with a libretto by philosopher Massimo Cacciari, based on a selection of texts referencing the myth of Prometheus, the Greek hero who rebelled against the Gods. Prometeo is radically different from any other opera performance in that it challenges preconceived assumptions of what music “ought” to be. It premiered on 25 September 1984 in the secularized Church of San Lorenzo in Venice under the conduction of Claudio Abbado. Renzo Piano designed the wooden structure built in the church and Emilio Vedova participated in the elaboration of the light installations. Nono began to work on Prometeo in the mid-1970s, amidst ideological struggles and failed revolutions around the world. A pioneer of experimental electronic music, he conceived his piece as a pure experience of sound in accordance with his concept known as spazio sentito [space heard].
