Guggenheim: Full Abstraction at the ING Art Centre

"Peggy Guggenheim was an extraordinary character; I would recommend Mary Dearborn's biography Mistress of Modernism; that's a play on words" Philip Rylands Director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice subtly reveals how personal her involvement in art collection was. Mr. Rylands was in Brussels for the opening of Guggenheim: Full Abstraction, at the ING Art Center. The show presents an impressive set of works from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice and the Solomon Guggenheim Collection in New York with pieces by Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst (Peggy's second husband), Jean DuBuffet, Lucio Fontana, Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning, Sam Francis, Robert Motherell, Cy Twombly and others. As well as the works of art, the show presents a rich timeline documented with archive pictures, documents, film fragments and more, to enable the visitor to fully understand the impact that these two main collectors of XXth Century art had in both the US and Europe.
