The Peggy Guggenheim Collection
includes 36 works by Abstract and Surrealist artists. Particularly
prominent are those artists representing early American
Abstraction (Jackson Pollock, William Baziotes, and Richard
Pousette-Dart), alongside the European Geometric Abstract Art (Ben
Nicholson, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart), and Surrealism (Yves
Tanguy, Roberto Matta, and Andre Masson). The Collection was
donated to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in the early 1950s, before
Peggy Guggenheim acquired the Venetian palace in which she founded
the Museum bearing her name.
