Azimuth. Continuity and the new

Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, Italy

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection celebrates the neo avant-gardes with an exhibition dedicated to AZIMUT/H, the gallery and eponymous review founded in 1959 by Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani. AZIMUT/H: Continuity and Newness reconstructs the fundamental role played by AZIMUT/H and the revolutionary new generation of creative spirits that it brought together in a panorama of experimental and new art in Italy and Europe. With a full selection of art as well as printed and manuscript documentation, the exhibition brings to life AZIMUT/H’s short but intense story, which was characteristic of the internationalization of contemporary art following World War II.


Curator: Luca Massimo Barbero
