One hundred years after the publication in Le Figaro on February 20 1909 of the Futurist Manifesto, signed by the ‘jeune poète italien’ Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection celebrates this revolutionary avant-garde movement with the exhibition Masterpieces of Futurism at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, curated by Philip Rylands, director of the Venetian museum (from February 18 through 2009). The exhibition also serves as an homage to the foresight of Gianni Mattioli, one of the great collectors of 20th century art, who accumulated a comprehensive presence of Futurism in his collection. This includes works by Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Gino Severini, Ottone Rosai, Mario Sironi and Ardengo Soffici.
Masterpieces of Futurism at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents key paintings of the movement such as Materia and Dynamism of a Cyclist by Boccioni, Mercury Passing Before the Sun by Balla, The Galleria of Milan by Carrà, Blue Dancer by Severini, three works from Peggy Guggenheim’s collection (Severini’s Sea = Dancer, Balla’s Abstract Speed + Sound, and Boccioni’s sculpture Dynamism of a Speeding Horse + Houses), as well as loans from private collections by Balla, Boccioni, Carrà and Sironi. This will also be the debut of a recent gift to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, Sironi’s early masterpiece The Cyclist (1916). The exhibition includes three of Boccioni’s four extant sculptures: in addition to the mixed media Dynamism of a Speeding Horse + Houses, bronze cast of his celebrated Development of a Bottle in Space and Unique Forms of Continuity in Space.
The exhibition runs until December 31st 2009

Le Corbusier – The Art of Architecture at Barbican Art Gallery is the first major survey in London of the internationally renowned architect in more than 20 years. This timely reassessment charts how the work of Le Corbusier – a pseudonym of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris – changed dramatically throughout his career. Spanning a period of 60 years the exhibition includes early works inspired by his native Switzerland, the iconic white cubic buildings of the 1920s such as the famous Villa Savoye (1928-31) and culminating in the late works of the 1950s and 60s of which the Chapel of Ronchamp (1950-55) and the buildings for the Indian city of Chandigarh (1952-64) are key examples.
The exhibition focuses on Le Corbusier’s unique multi-disciplinary approach, and brings together a wealth of his paintings, films, sculpture and books alongside vintage photographs, original architectural models and interior settings. It also features important works by his collaborators and artistic contemporaries such as furniture designers Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé, and artists Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant.
The exhibition runs until 21st May 2009

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao will present ©MURAKAMI, the most comprehensive retrospective to date of the works of Takashi Murakami. The exhibition will feature more than 90 artworks in various media including painting, sculpture, installation, and film. Included will be iconic works that track the ongoing evolution of Murakami’s anime alter ego DOB, his otaku-inspired figure projects of the late ‘90s, an archive of licensed Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. merchandise that spans Takashi Murakami’s entire career, and a retrospective of his creations for Louis Vuitton since 2003.
©MURAKAMI presents a selection of the artist’s major works spanning the entire length of his career, beginning with his works from the early 1990s, which launched Japan’s Neo-Pop generation. A significant portion of the exhibition is dedicated to the ongoing evolution of Murakami’s alter ego, DOB, and the figure projects of the late 1990s inspired by the otaku, a Japanese anime and manga obsessed geek subculture. A particularly important feature will be the monumental installation presenting the retrospective work of Murakami collaborating with world leading luxury brand Louis Vuitton.
The exhibition runs until May 31st 2009
