Migrating Objects: Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Migrating Objects represents a remarkable occasion to view 35 rarely seen non-Western artworks Guggenheim collected, shown at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection as a cohesive whole for the first time. This exhibition presents Guggenheim鈥檚 African, Oceanic, and indigenous Americas objects in groupings privileging their original contexts or, alternately, in dialogue with European works from her collection by avant-garde artists who appropriated ideas from cultures beyond Europe鈥檚 borders. These opposing modes of display enable an exploration of the flawed narratives that Western culture imposed on objects of this kind.
