Peggy Guggenheim
October 19, 2011
Peggy Guggenheim is one of the most amazing, amusing and courageous figures in Modern Art. Much married, with an impressive string of lovers, she began collecting surrealist works in 1938 and by the time she opened her unusual gallery, ART OF THIS CENTURY, on 57th street in 1941, she had amassed one of the most important contemporary collections in the western world.
