Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Mark Tobey: Threading Light

With 66 paintings spanning the 1920s through the 1970s, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents the first comprehensive retrospective dedicated to Mark Tobey (1890–1976) in 20 years.

 

Mark Tobey: Threading Light traces the evolution of Tobey's groundbreaking style and his significant yet under-recognized contributions to mid-century American modernism and Abstract Expressionism.

 

Today, Mark Tobey is widely recognized as a vanguard figure whose "white-writing" anticipated the formal innovations of New York School artists such as Jackson Pollock. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to re-examine and re-contextualize the work and influence of this key figure in 20th century American art.
