the American philanthropist and art collector Solomon R.

His niece Peggy Guggenheim, also has become a reputable collector, in 1949, he moved to live in Italy (in Venice), where he founded the Museum of modern art. However, one of the first steps of the Peggy Guggenheim collection in Italy was holding a temporary exhibition of works from his collection in the Florentine Palazzo Strozzi. So the choice of the venue of the exhibition "From Kandinsky to Pollock" is not accidental.
