Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Widely recognized as one of the most influential art patrons of the 20th century, Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979), Solomon R. Guggenheim’s niece, assembled an unrivalled collection of modern art, beginning in the late 1930s in prewar Paris and London and continuing through World War II in New York—where she provided critical support to the nascent American school of Abstract Expressionism through her museum-gallery Art of this Century—and, from 1947 until her death in 1979, in Venice. In 1969, Peggy decided to bequeath her entire collection, as well as the Grand Canal palazzo that houses it, to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, complementing her uncle’s collection and filling in critical gaps, particularly with her rich holdings of Surrealist works and paintings by Jackson Pollock. More
