 | | Guggenheim got married for the first time to Laurence Vail, a Dada sculptor and writer. | | | As a result of her interest in new artists she was instrumental in advancing the careers of many important modern artists, including the American painter Jackson Pollock, the sound poet Ada Verdun Howell and the German-French painter Max Ernst, whom she married in 1942. | | | The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is the most important museum in Italy for European and American art of the first half of the 20th century. |

| | Peggy Guggenheim Collection - Venice |
| | Peggy began her career in the arts in 1938 as the owner of a gallery, Guggenheim Jeune, in London, hobnobbing with the likes of Samuel Beckett, Marcel Duchamp, and other giants of the art scene. | | | Near the end of her life, Peggy, who had originally dreamed of opening a museum way back in 1939, decided to leave her house and her art to the public to serve as a museum. | | | Though Peggy, whose playboy father Benjamin went down on the Titanic, was not one of the major heirs, she inherited enough to support her art habit. |

| | Peggy's first move into artistic bohemia began when she took a job (unpaid) in an avant-garde book shop, which led to her first acquaintance with the two obsessions of her life, the modern arts and sex. | | | Both sides of the art collector Peggy Guggenheim's family were preposterously, fabulously, stinkingly rich, so much so that their stories read as near-parodies of the American dream. | | | In 1919, Peggy came of age and inherited, yet because of her father's comparative fecklessness, her fortune - $450,000 - was nothing like as big as her name suggested, gossips supposing that she had $70m. |

| | Guggenheim, and collectors like her, were almost art historians: they were collecting something worth retaining in the memory of culture and worth guarding against obscurity. | | | Less well known than her uncle Solomon, Peggy Guggenheim was a passionate collector of art and bought works by Picasso, Giacometti, Jackson Pollock and many more. | | | This is the fascinating story of her transformation from society heiress to bohemian doyenne of the art world in Europe and America. |

| | Guggenheim was calmer and quieter in her last years in Venice; she liked to say that floating in a gondola was the nicest thing in her life since she gave up sex. | | | Guggenheim spent the next decade of her life administering first to the needs of the alcoholic writer, and then to the unfaithful Communist who eventually took his place (for his sake, she joined the Party). | | | Guggenheim described it as "a continuous band of abstract figures in a rhythmic dance," and recounted how it had been painted in a single night of poured-out inspiration, after Pollock had sat numbly in front of the enormous canvas for weeks. |

| | Peggy Guggenheim was not the most important patron of modern art in the twentieth century. | | | In fact, when Peggy Guggenheim tried to import some sculptures and collages from France to England, British customs authorities, acting on the advice of leading London curators, declared that the sculptures were "not art" and charged the higher import duty imposed on stone and metal. | | | Peggy Guggenheim's aid to Jackson Pollock was an important grant, because Pollock used the money to transform himself from a minor artist into a great one. |

| | Solomon Guggenheim (1861-1949) was Peggy Guggenheim’s uncle, and no doubt his example played a role in her decision to set up the Guggenheim Jeune gallery in London in 1938. | | | Solomon Guggenheim’s enthusiastic adoption of Rebay’s ideas in the form of his collection of ‘non-objective art’, and most especially in his establishing a public venue for this work, thus made two key statements about the level of ‘culture’ he had attained. | | | Unlike her uncle, Peggy Guggenheim demonstrated no similar quasi-religious inclinations with her taste in avant-garde art, but in collecting Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism especially, she arguably challenged the boundaries of public taste in a much more threatening manner than her uncle and Rebay. |

| | Peggy Guggenheim used a small fortune and a great deal of entrepreneurial ingenuity to become one of the most important art patrons of the 1930s and ’40s. | | | The Guggenheims were at their best when they funded artists and scientists at the start of their careers. | | | When Solomon Guggenheim launched his first exhibition in 1939, for example, New York Times art critic Edward Alden Jewell condemned the exhibit as “a religious cult set to incidental music.” Yet history’s verdict is that Solomon Guggenheim was a major donor and Edward Jewell is forgotten. |

| | Peggy Guggenheim's Museum only runs to a dozen or so rooms, but each is stuffed with the best of 20th century art collected by one of the most interesting women of the 20th century. | | | Peggy's lifestyle probably defines "artistic impulse." After she moved to Venice in 1949 she scandalized locals by sunbathing on her roof, and wasn't above tossing a Giacometti plaster in the back of her car to tote to the bronze casters. | | | For example, in 1939, as WW II loomed, she'd opened Guggenheim Jeune Gallery in London with Jean Cocteau, and followed up with the first British showing of Vasily Kandinsky, sculpture by Brancusi, paintings by Duchamp and works of Henry Moore and others. |
