MARK TOBEY. THREADING LIGHT AT THE PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION
Coffee is the common thread running through the museums, the collections and the cities I visited in this period, and the latest exhibition I saw at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, dedicated to the American artist Mark Tobey is no exception. The ritual of coffee is that moment which allows you to share your first impressions about an event with people next to you at that moment, but also to exchange opinions and talk about what you’re going to see.
Then, it was beautiful to come back to Peggy Guggenheim’s house, place that I adore, to discover an American artist about whom I knew little, and to find out that, actually, that is not only an art exhibition, but the first leg of a collaboration between Lavazza and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.
Actually, Lavazza has been Global Partner of the Guggenheim New York since 2014, but now it focuses on Venice, too.
Mark Tobey: Threading light is the most comprehensive retrospective exhibition in the latest years, in Europe, dedicated to the American artist Mark Tobey.
The exhibition will be on view until September 10th 2017, and you’ll have the whole summer to visit it. In this post I’m writing about my visit to the exhibition.
