Step into the remarkable life of Peggy Guggenheim, an iconic art collector and socialite who reshaped the modern art world. Born into immense wealth on August 26, 1898, Peggy's early years were marked by tragedy when her father, Benjamin Guggenheim, perished on the Titanic. Despite this loss, Peggy's passion for art drove her into the bohemian circles of Paris, sparking a lifelong dedication to the avant-garde.

Join us as we explore Peggy's adventurous, often scandalous life, from her marriages to Laurence Vail and Max Ernst to her affairs with Samuel Beckett and Marcel Duchamp. Her friendships with luminaries like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Alfred Stieglitz propelled her into the modern art scene, leading her to collect works by Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dalí, and Yves Tanguy.

During World War II, Peggy’s heroic efforts to save modern art from Nazi persecution cemented her status as a protector of the avant-garde. Her Venetian palazzo became a sanctuary for artists and art lovers, solidifying her influence in the art world. Today, her legacy endures through the renowned Guggenheim Museums and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, which continues to showcase groundbreaking exhibitions, including the restoration of Picasso’s The Studio and a retrospective on Jean Cocteau.

Discover how Peggy navigated love, loss, and a lasting legacy, transforming the art world with her indomitable spirit and vision.

Peggy was a very annoying woman by accounts. She baited leftist influential people with her ugly, mannish almost drag queen style. Highly exaggerated for her time she bought her way through France, Venice and New York with all that lovely trust fund $$$ she had. No one in the upper class society whose parents married into Jewish money tended to be united. The children were usually ignored and the men always had paramours. Arranged marriages were fake. Women back then were burdens as children especially. Peggy was a tough, boyish person and an excellent vanguard for art dealing/gallery life. Many Jewish deakers cornered the market. Modsrn art was the buzz as Victorian paintings were becoming seen as tiresome. Photography art boomer as well. Most artists resent the people who deal/ show thier art so she was not well liked by them. She was into drugs and most certainly was not the only person in Venezia to have thier own private gondola. Not sure where you got that from. I knew many people that socialized with her over her life. All dead now. The reports were very much in that vein. Personally I think she beat the odds as a non artist creating a museum monument that we all know today. Furthermore Peggy got laid a lot more than people would ever had believed possible as she was not attractive. A true protean sorceress who transcended much. Her resented funds, her depressing (and no doubt sexually abused childhood by lesbian Nannies ), a mother who hated her and endless extremist left wing masculine alliances. The latter that roughishly robbed her financially whilst playing sub/dom games with her as a distraction. All to emerge with a modern art legacy. For the facesless Joe Public to see in perpituity. No small feat. Brava.

Peggy’s home in Venice is so much more worthy of a visit than the Murano glass factory that nearly all tourists go to. (Including me.) Her home is beautiful, calming yet exciting, and is full of incredible modern art.
If you go to Venice, and you love modern art, go to Peggy Guggenheim’s home.

Interesting person. Considering all the wealth and connections she had, she was tremendously creative. Tragic emotional life but very curious intellectually. Sad to think that she craved love and acceptance by having sex with multiple partners. ( I totally get that) Sad, too, to know that she was abused by her husbands. They obviously could see how vulnerable and desperate she was for love and took advantage of her. ( I get that, too) Thank you to her for collecting art.

I don't understand why these wealthy progressives think communism is an answer to societal woes. She is out of touch with common people. She was degenerate and immoral. It is true that modern art does not require great technical skills regardless of how interesting it might be.

The Guggenheim mining company smelted ore one the open streets of Anaconda, Montana, before the giant smelter was built. Wealth was extracted in the Montana "colony" and sent east, leaving miles of country downwind barren for a century. And these are the people that rapacious greed gave the world. Disgusting.

Frankly, I admire her wisdom to follow her gut hunches and be bold enough to be herself. Judge not lest we be judged. At 80 I have followed many of my dreams and done things which at their time seemed like disasters but which ended up teaching me a way to live that didn't have the demands of profit, the right snob house and car and clothes and snob title, but to try to live doing what I like to do. My mother gave me good advice one day, when I whined about not being quite like another boy and wishing for a new role when she said. Why do you want to be someone else, they're already taken.?
