Lucca, Tuscany.- The Lucca Center of Centemporary Art is proud to be showing “Revealing Papers: The Hidden treasures of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection”, on view at the museum until January 15th. Peggy Guggenheim’s career, as patron and collector, was driven by her readiness to support, both financially and morally, the intellectual vanguard, whether literary or artistic, and her desire to communicate to others her own enthusiasm for the art of her time. Her vision went beyond the mere acquisition of works of contemporary art to the creation of a comprehensive collection of museum standard. Peggy worked to bring about the acceptance of the avant-garde not only in the United States, but also in Europe and in particular in Italy. This exhibition presents a selection of seldom seen works on paper from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.
