Devoted exclusively to papier coll\u00e9s and related works on paper from the 1940s and early 1950s by Robert Motherwell, this exhibition features nearly sixty artworks and examines the American artist\u2019s origins and his engagement with collage. The exhibition also honours Peggy Guggenheim\u2019s early patronage of the artist. At her urging, and under the tutelage of \u00e9migr\u00e9 Surrealist artist Matta, Motherwell first experimented with the papier coll\u00e9 technique. He recalled years later: \u201cI might never have done it otherwise, and it was here that I found . . . my \u2018identity.\u2019\u201d By cutting, tearing, and layering pasted papers, Motherwell reflected the tumult and violence of the modern world, establishing him as an essential and original voice in postwar American art. Motherwell initially produced both figural and abstract collages, but by the early 1950s Surrealist influences prevalent in these first works had given way to his distinctive mature style, which was firmly rooted in Abstract Expressionism.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is organized by Susan Davidson, Senior Curator, Collections and Exhibitions, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art with additional funding from the Dedalus Foundation, Inc.<\/p>\n
