Imagine. New imagery in Italian art 1960-1969

Exhibition Imagine at the Guggenheim Collection. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is probably my favourite museum of contemporary art in Italy, and I visit it many times a year.

There’s always an interesting exhibition on view at the museum, and there are always new aspects to discover in the permanent collection.

The movie “Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict” has been recently dedicated to her adventurous life, as I told you in my post dedicated to this beautiful movie.
