USA Pavilion of the Venice Biennale
In 1986, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation purchased the US Pavilion from the Museum of Modern Art, New York with funds provided by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection Advisory Board. Since 1986 the Peggy Guggenheim Collection has worked with the United States Information Agency (USIA), the US Department of State and the Fund for Artists at International Festivals and Exhibitions in the organization of the visual arts exhibitions at the US Pavilion, while the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation has organized the comparable shows at the Architecture Biennales. In 2002, the US Pavilion at the Architecture Biennale was promoted for the first time by the US Department of State. LOOK HERE!
Peggy Guggenheim
Peggy Guggenheim was dedicated to the advancement of 20th century art. Peggy used to say that it was her duty to protect the art of her own time, and she dedicated half of her life to this mission, as well as to the creation of the museum that still carries her name.
