Adolph Gottlieb: A Retrospective
September 4, 2010–January 9, 2011
For the first time, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection celebrates a great American painter, Adolph Gottlieb, with a retrospective exhibition. Following exhibitions dedicated to William Baziotes and Richard Pousette-Dart, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection turns to another of the group of the American Abstract Expressionists, a movement closely tied to Peggy Guggenheim’s career as collector and gallery owner. Gottlieb’s paintings were exhibited in the 1945 Autumn Salon exhibition at her Art of This Century gallery, along with other Abstract Expressionists such as Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Willem de Kooning, and Jackson Pollock.
