The Schulhof collection arrives in Venice

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is enriched with 83 precious works of Italian art, European and American post-war legacy of the American collector Hannelore B. Schulhof and her husband.

By the will of Mrs. Schulhof the works will be exhibited in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, home of the Venetian collection alongside masterpieces collected by Peggy Guggenheim.
The arrival of the collection in Venice is a unique and unrepeatable event because through this act are imported into Italy permanently works of extraordinary artistic value.

Hannelore and Rudolph Schulhod shared with Peggy, who met in 1954 at the Venice Biennale, a belief that may collect the works of their time and succeeded in this with the same passion, dedication and vision that had animated Peggy.

Afro, Burri, Calder, Capogrossi, de Kooning, Fontana, Dubuffet, Jasper Johns, Rothko, Oldenburg, Stella, are just some of the artists that will enrich with its work, the already admired collection of American patron, who made Venice his second home.

From Friday, October 12, 12 another chance to visit the Guggenheim collection vitising the Schulhof collection.
