PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION | VENICE, ITALY |
| AZIMUT/H. Continuity and Newness is a tribute to the post World War II neo-avantgarde in Italy, and in particular to Azimut/h, the gallery and review founded in 1959 in Milan by Enrico Castellani (b. 1930) and Piero Manzoni (1933-1963). |
| Like a thunderbolt of intense activity between September 1959 and July 1960, Azimut/h is today viewed by critics and art historians as a pivotal episode and one of the great catalysts of Italian and European visual and conceptual culture, marked by radical experimentation and energized by its ties to by some of the major figures in the art scene of the time. |
| AZIMUT/H. Continuity and Newness includes works by Manzoni and Castellani, as well as by Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Günther Uecker. |
