The Love of Art. Pass It On.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation proudly announces the creation of The Guggenheim Society to recognize all those who help to secure the future of the Guggenheim through a gift to the Foundation’s permanent endowment. Established by Solomon R. Guggenheim and members of the Guggenheim family in 1937 to collect, present, and conserve the art of our time, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation now comprises a collection of modern and contemporary art and architecture in five venues in New York, Venice, Berlin, Bilbao, and Abu Dhabi. The Guggenheim Society will play a key role in enhancing and securing this legacy—so important to the international art world—by expanding the permanent endowment of the Guggenheim Foundation.

This retrospective explores Giuseppe Capogrossi’s (1900–72) unique contribution to 20th–century art, tracing the evolution of his signature glyph in grandiose orchestrations of abstract mark and color. In collaboration with Rome’s Fondazione Archivio Capogrossi and with support from the President of the Italian Republic and the Italian Ministry of Culture, Capogrossi: A Retrospective brings together over seventy paintings and drawings in a long overdue examination of the artist’s career.
