Art through the Ages: Masterpieces of Painting from Titian to Picasso
August 30, 2002–March 2, 2003

Art Through the Ages: Masterpieces of Painting from Titian to Picasso traces six centuries of painting from Renaissance art in the 15th century to Modern art in the 20th century, drawing on the world-renowned collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Gemäldegalerie of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. This is the first large-scale exhibition resulting from the January 2001 agreement initiating Guggenheim-Hermitage-Kunsthistoriches collaborations. Because the alliance has combined resources representing perhaps the greatest single concentration of cultural artifacts in the world, its programming and collection-sharing initiatives have the potential to present a full spectrum of exhibitions and scholarly research projects from preshistoric times to the present.
