Visionaries: Creating a Modern Guggenheim Part II



Opening on February 10, 2017, on the occasion of the eightieth anniversary of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, Visionaries: Creating a Modern Guggenheim features more than 170 modern objects from the permanent collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice. 

Assembling many of the foundation’s most iconic works along with treasures by artists less familiar, this celebratory exhibition explores avant-garde innovations of the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth centuries, as well as the groundbreaking activities of six pioneering arts patrons who brought to light some of the most significant artists of their day and established the Guggenheim Foundation’s identity as a forward- looking institution. Visionaries includes important works by artists such as Alexander Calder, Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Vincent van Gogh. 

More than a dozen works on paper by Picasso and Van Gogh, rarely on view to the public, will be installed in the Thannhauser Gallery, where the earliest works represented in the Guggenheim collection are typically on display. Additionally, sculptures by Edgar Degas and paintings by Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Paul Gauguin, and Édouard Manet will be placed on the ramps for the occasion of the exhibition. In May, a fresh selection of works on paper by artists including Klee, Picasso, and Van Gogh will replace the first grouping.

Đốt cháy chất béo trong cơ thể theo khoa học như thế nào?

Nhà khoa học Mỹ giải thích đốt cháy chất béo là gì, và tại sao gọi là "đốt"? Thậm chí, nó cũng thải ra khí CO2 như một sản phẩm của sự cháy. Khi bạn tập thể dục và ăn kiêng để “đốt cháy” chất béo, điều gì đang thực sự diễn ra trong cơ thể? Chất béo có cháy thành tro hay không? Dĩ nhiên là không, nhưng quá trình tương tự đã xảy ra, khiến người ta gọi nó một cách trừu tượng, rằng chất béo đã bị “đốt”.

Heritage Auctions' American Art Signature Auction May 3

Heritage Auctions ' American Art Signature Auction May 3 will feature masterworks by trailblazers such as Thomas Moran, E. Irving Couse, Birger Sandzén and Norman Rockwell. Additionally, a significant selection of Early American Modernist works on paper from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Henry and May Ann Gans will prove a true highlight for savvy collectors. WESTERN ART   Leading the sale is Thomas Moran' s Mountain Lion in Grand Canyon (Lair of the Mountain Lion) (est. $600,000-800,000).
