Peggy Guggenheim collection online

Peggy Guggenheim collection, in Venice, Italy, is also on display online.
Focusing on first half of the 20th century, it exhibits mostly works from cubism, futurism, metaphysical painting, european abstract art, surrealism and american abstract expressionism.
Among the artists in the collection: Picasso, Leger, Brancusi, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Mirò, Klee, Magrit, Pollock, Rothko, Calder and Moore.
The collection can be browsed by artist or by room. Beside the work a comment and a brief biography of the artist are provided.
Unfortunately some pages text in the english section of the site are in italian. The problem has already been communicated to webmaster and it will be hopefully fixed soon. Anyway it wont prevent you from watching the works and reading comments and bios in english.
