Several artists, such as Berenice Abbott, Trisha Donnelly, R.H. Quaytman, Wu Tsang, and a number of works and series of works by Louise Lawler, Agnes Martin, Julie Mehretu, Anri Sala and Šejla Kamerić, Tatiana Trouvé, among others, are presented for the first time in an exhibition of the Pinault Collection in Venice. They are set up in relation with a selection of works that have marked the history of exhibitions at Punta della Dogana since its opening in 2009.
