Some of the extraordinary works of Ileana Sonnabend Collection at Ca' Pesaro in Venice
From May 31st 2014 to January 4th 2015 the
International Gallery of Modern Art -
Ca' Pesaro of
Venice presents some of the extraordinary works of
Ileana Sonnabend Collection. Approximately a hundred of works by artists of the XX century discovered and promoted in her galleries by Ileana Sonnabend (1914 – 2007), considered to be an “ambassador” of contemporary art.
A selection of the finest works of the collection is always present in the permanent displays of the museum thanks to a grant in 2013 as a long-term loan, representing an inestimable cultural value for the city. The exhibition offers a view from
Neo Dada to
Pop Art, Minimal Art to
Arte Povera,
Conceptual art to
Neo Expressionism and
contemporary photographic art. Among the others, some of the greatest names of 20th century art stand out:
Robert Rauschenberg,
Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein,
Jim Dine,
Tom Wesselmann,
Robert Morris,
Sol Lewitt,
Anselm Kiefer and
Jeff Koons.
Beyond the well-known '
Campbell’s Soup Can Tomato' by
Andy Warhol and the beautiful '
Little Aloha' by
Roy Lichtenstein, the exhibition also includes a group of
Italian Arte Povera works, a movement that is well represented by artists who experimented with “poor” materials (natural,organic, industrial), used for their expressiveness of primary and sensorial immediacy. You will find extraordinary works of
Gilberto Zorio, Mario Merz, Giovanni Anselmo,Pier Paolo Calzolari and Jannis Kounellis.
