The gallery quickly became one of the most respected and innovative venues for contemporary art exhibitions in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">European Exhibitions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">She returned to Europe in 1947, and her collection was shown for the first time at the <strong>Venice Biennale<\/strong> the following year, bringing international attention to artists such as <strong>Jackson Pollock<\/strong>, who was exhibited in Europe for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">She began a new chapter of her life in Venice after purchasing <strong>Palazzo Venier dei Leoni<\/strong>, and in 1962 she was named <strong>Honorary Citizen of Venice<\/strong>. She passed away in 1979, and since then the Guggenheim Collection has continued to captivate and inspire visitors, establishing itself as one of the most important modern art museums in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Palazzo Venier dei Leoni<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The building was designed by architect <strong>Lorenzo Boschetti<\/strong>, who also designed the <strong>Church of San Barbaba in Venice<\/strong>. Construction was never completed, possibly due to disputes with neighboring families or because the laying of the foundations damaged a nearby historic Gothic palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veneziadaesplorare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/peggy-guggenheim-venezia-palazzo.jpg\" alt=\"Peggy Guggnheim view from the canal\" class=\"wp-image-109\" title=\"Peggy Guggnheim view from the canal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veneziadaesplorare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/peggy-guggenheim-venezia-palazzo.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.veneziadaesplorare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/peggy-guggenheim-venezia-palazzo-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The name most likely derives from the <strong>Istrian stone lion head<\/strong> that decorates the building.
