"Picasso and Pollock in Peggy Guggenheim's Collection"

Peggy Guggenheim not only helped to launch Pollock’s career, but by exhibiting his work alongside 20th century masters such as Picasso, she helped to establish his position in the continuity of modernism. Philip will show paintings by both artists and chronicle relevant exhibitions between 1942 and 1950.

Philip Rylands was the founding administrator and director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy, and serves as its Director Emeritus. His publications include Flying the Flag for Art: The United States and the Venice Biennale, 1895–1991 (1993, with Enzo Di Martino), Peggy Guggenheim and Frederick Kiesler: The Story of Art of This Century (ed. with Susan Davidson, 2004), and periodic reviews, including those for the Burlington Magazine.
