April 7– July 26, 2010
In 1958, Peggy Guggenheim was photographed by celebrated Italian photographer Nino Migliori (b. 1929) in her Venetian home, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, now the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, which celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this year. Led by his considerable intellectual curiosity, Nino Migliori spent much time in Venice in the late 1950s. He frequented artists such as Emilio Vedova, Tancredi Parmeggiani, Giuseppe Santomaso, Virgilio Guidi and occasionally even Peggy Guggenheim, who was a focal point for Italian Abstract painters in post-war years, particularly Vedova and Tancredi.
