In the 1950s and 1960s, Venice was the core of the artistic avant-garde, destined to parade in the pavilions of the Biennale. The international vocation of the lagoon city was the attractive element for Peggy Guggenheim. The collector of Bacci and Tancredi, as well as friend of Santomaso and Vedova, Guggenheim facilitated the entry into museum collections of works by Italian abstract artists, as with Birolli‘s painting donated in 1949 to the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome.
Galleria dello Scudo proposals at Miart aim at offering an overview of the protagonists then celebrated in the international milieu, with paintings capable of representing their pictorial research in the best possible way.
