Peggy

A brief on Peggy Guggenheim:
You may know her uncle as the founder of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, however Peggy was also a driving force in the avant-garde movement. After moving to Paris in 1920, she became bff with the likes of Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp. She began to collect and then exhibit little-known artists like Wassily Kandinsky. Following her divorce from the artist Max Ernst, she moved to Venice where she took up a palazzo on the Grand Canal, now the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. She is now buried in the sculpture garden, along with her dogs.
