The 60s in the Guggenheim Collections. From Informal to Pop art

Feb 09, 2013 - May 12, 2013
This is the sixth in the series of annual exhibitions that has brought works from the
Guggenheim collections in Venice and New York to the town of Vercelli. The theme will be
the 1960s, a decade of fundamental change in American and European art, presented in
the form of a transatlantic dialogue between major artists, and drawing upon the resources of the Guggenheim collections. New content, styles and parameters of artistic production, amounting to new dimensions of visual culture, are highlighted by the parallel presence of works by major artists of the decade, from Jean Dubuffet, to Antoni Tapies, Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni, to Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.
