Carlo Cardazzo - A new vision for art

2008 is an important year for the Peggy Guggenheim Collection: the 60th anniversary of the Peggy collection in Venice. An exhibition dedicated to the Venetian artist Carlo Cardazzo entitled A new vision for art was scheduled for this important event from November 1, 2008 to February 9, 2009.

This is the first exhibition fully dedicated to Carlo Cardazzo that documents the variety of this eclectic artist's interests: patron of the arts, benefactor, collector, publisher and gallerist. In fact, his Galleria del Cavallino opened in Venice in 1942

In the contemporary art world following the Second World War, few personalities matched the enterprise and volcanic curiosity of the Venetian Carlo Cardazzo. His history and works place him, like Peggy Guggenheim, among the pioneers in contemporary art promotion. Thanks to new archival research coordinated by the curator, Luca Massimo Barbero, unpublished materials and unknown facts have emerged which locate him in a surprisingly international context.
