Peggy Guggenheim Collection Mourns Maria Rita Cerilli, Announces Major London Exhibition

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice has reported the death of Maria Rita Cerilli, who served as head of communications for nearly two decades. Hailing from La Spezia, Cerilli began her career as an intern and eventually led the communications team, where she implemented digital tools and established the museum's inaugural social media platforms. Despite her health challenges, she managed the latest exhibition project. Additionally, the museum unveiled 'Peggy Guggenheim a Londra. Nascita di una collezionista', the most extensive exhibition focused on Guggenheim Jeune, which will run until 19 October 2026. Curated by Gražina Subelytė and Simon Grant, it showcases over one hundred pieces from artists like Eileen Agar and Piet Mondrian, emphasizing Peggy's influence on British art. A catalog has been published by Collezione Peggy Guggenheim.
