8^th June – 21^st September 2008

On 8^th June the usual summer initiative was started by Aperol, namely the partner of Intrapresae Guggenheim Collection, which for a long time has accompanied and freshened the Sundays of the people visiting the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

From 8^th June to 21^st September, all Sunday mornings, Piero Ballarin, a creative Venetian barman, will offer the well-known ‘spritz’ to those who will decide to spend a part of their day among Picasso’s, Kandinsky’s Pollock’s, Chagall’s, Magritte’s and De Chirico’s masterpieces.

People will have the opportunity to visit the temporary exhibition Coming of Age. American Art from 1850 to 1950 which will be held by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection from 28^th June to 12^th October. Winding inside the renewed venues of the Venetian museum, this exhibition, with more than seventy works of art among which paintings and sculptures, will display a century of American art, which, between 1850 and 1950, went from a realistic representation of details to an abstract interpretation of universal ideals.
