Migrating Objects: Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection

Now on view at Guggenheim Exhibitions, *Migrating Objects* traces how works from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas entered and circulated within the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The exhibition reads these objects as travelers shaped by trade, collecting, and display, and asks how meaning changes when an object is relocated across oceans and institutions. In New York City, it lands as part of the Guggenheim’s ongoing reexamination of modernism’s sources and blind spots. One clear takeaway is that the show treats provenance as interpretation, not footnote.
