Pearly gates - Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Closed on Tuesdays. Damn damn damn. Inside are "works from the following avant-garde movements or periods: Cubism (Orphism, Purism), Futurism, European Abstraction (Kandinsky, De Stijl, Suprematism, Constructivism), Surrealism (also Dada, Klee, Chagall, and Metaphysical painting), early works of American Abstract Expressionism (notably Jackson Pollock), European sculpture (Brancusi, Giacometti, Arp, Calder, Moore and many others), and post-war European art (CoBrA, British painting and sculpture, Dubuffet, Vedova, and many others). Six artists are represented with relatively numerous works of art: Picasso, Ernst, Giacometti, Pollock, Tancredi and Pegeen Vail. The Collection also includes a small collection of tribal art from Africa and Oceania. These holdings are magnificently enriched by the Italian paintings from the Gianni Mattioli Collection (Futurists, Modigliani, metaphysical paintings by Carrà and Sironi, and Morandi), and the loans of 20th century sculpture (European and American) from the Nasher Collection." Still, beautiful gates.
