The final exhibition
The current – and last – exhibition at the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in Las Vegas’ Venetian hotel consists of 37 paintings from the flagship Guggenheim in New York, described as charting “modern artists’ experimental interpretations of the academic themes of portraiture, landscape, still life and genre.”
The four galleries feature works by two dozen artists, including Modigliani (“Portrait of a Student,” 1918-19), Van Gogh (“Mountains at Saint-Remy,” 1889), Chagall (“The Soldier Drinks,” 1911-12), Cezanne (“Still Life: Plate of Peaches,” 1879-80) and Picasso (“Pitcher and Bowl of Fruit,” 1931).
The exhibit is free through the May 11 closing date.
