Abstract

The article focuses on the upcoming exhibition that reassesses the impact of the Guggenheim Jeune gallery, which operated for 18 months in London from January 1938. Organized in collaboration with the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the exhibition will feature around 80 works, including notable pieces by artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Yves Tanguy, many of which have not been seen in London for decades. The gallery was significant for its support of international abstract and Surrealist artists, particularly women, and faced controversies during its brief existence. The exhibition will also highlight how this period influenced Peggy Guggenheim's future endeavors as a collector and her commitment to supporting contemporary artists. [Extracted from the article]
