Paris and the Avant-Garde: Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection

Jan 23, 2010 - May 12, 2010
During the first decades of the twentieth century, numerous painters and sculptors migrated to Paris, which had become the international nexus for vanguard art. Bringing with them their variegated customs, these artists absorbed and contributed to the latest artistic developments, often fusing new elements with aspects of their respective traditions in their works. The artists associated with the School of Paris did not adhere to one fixed style typical of a 鈥渟chool;鈥 however, they were united in defiance of academicism and their artistic developments, including Cubism and Surrealism, profoundly influenced the next generation of artists.

Paris and the Avant-Garde: Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection will feature some thirty paintings from the Guggenheim Collection by such artists as Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Robert Delaunay, Albert Gleizes, Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso, Fernand L茅ger, Joan Miro, and Yves Tanguey, among others, as well as showcase a significant group of sculpture by Constantin Brancusi and Alexander Calder. The exhibition is curated by Tracey Bashkoff, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, and Megan Fontanella, Assistant Curator.
