The Panza Collection and its masterpieces set to disembark at the Venice International Gallery of Modern Art
The
Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art will open the 2014 exhibition season with a show dedicated to the intelligence and extraordinary work of the "talent scout"
Giuseppe Panza di Biumo and his collection of priceless masterpieces by masters of American painting from the post-World War II period.
The
exhibition in
Venice will display a carefully selected set of artworks ranging from abstract expressionism to pop art, and from minimal to conceptual art, ending with the third collection put together from the 1980s onwards.
Like Peggy Guggenheim and
Ileana Sonnabend,
Giuseppe Panza di Biumo selected and actively supported a small number of artists who would only receive full recognition in later years, such as
Robert Rauschenberg,
Roy Lichtenstein,
Franz Kline,
Donald Judd,
Mark Rothko,
Dan Flavin,
Hanne Darboven,
Jan Dibbets,
Joseph Kosuth and Richard Serra.
The exhibition is structured around 40 works by 27 artists originating from the
Guggenheim Museum in
New York and the
MOCA in
Los Angeles, the two institutions that have house the most important nuclei of the
Panza collection since the Region of Piedmont missed the opportunity to take possession of them in 1983.
