Art Gift To Guggenheim

A collection of postwar European and American art will be donated by the Schulhofs family to the Guggenheim Foundation in Venice. This will substantially strengthen the post-1945 holdings of paintings in what is already seen as the premier Italian museum for the artistic avant-gardes of the first half of the century. The collection of classic post-war Italian, European, and American art - when added to the Cubist, abstract, Surrealist, and early American Abstract Expressionist art and postwar art - extends the comprehensive reach of the Venice museum into the 70s and even the '80s. Works by New York School artists will represent the U.S - Color-field painting, Pop art, and Minimalism will be on view for the first time. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
