Featuring more than 50 masterpieces from the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, this exhibition is the first since the renewal of the management agreement with the Guggenheim Foundation. It includes some of the most influential paintings and sculptures of the last century, created by artists such as Constantin Brancusi, Georges Braque, Robert Delaunay, Amedeo Modigliani, and Pablo Picasso. In the early 20th century, Paris was the capital of the avant-garde. Artists from around the world settled in the City of Light, where they created new forms of art and literature and responded to the rapid economic, social, and technological developments that were fundamentally transforming city life. It was in Paris that Picasso and Braque radically overturned the conventions of painting, Delaunay composed harmonious visions of colour, Kandinsky pursued new directions in abstraction, and Brancusi reimagined how sculptures could be present in space.
