During the 2024 Venice Biennale, museums and foundations across the city are presenting solo and group exhibitions featuring major international art figures, including Marina Abramović, Lorna Simpson, Arthur Jafa, Richard Prince, and a tribute to Peggy Guggenheim. These shows run concurrently with the main Biennale exhibition, drawing visitors to venues such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and other historic palazzos.
This convergence of high-profile exhibitions underscores Venice’s role as a global art capital during Biennale season, amplifying the event’s cultural and economic impact. By spotlighting both living artists and historical figures, the programming highlights ongoing dialogues between contemporary practice and modernist legacies, reinforcing the Biennale’s influence on art-world trends and tourism.
