Royal Academy of Arts, Burlington House, London
In 1938 Peggy Guggenheim opened her first gallery, Guggenheim Jeune in London. Over eighteen months it challenged the conservative British art establishment with more than twenty exhibitions of Surrealist and abstract art, including a show of sculpture by Heinz Henghes in 1939. This exhibition, organised by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection Venice and the Royal Academy brings together works by many artists including Henghes that Peggy Guggenheim exhibited.
