		Seeking independence, Benjamin Guggenheim had broken not only with his wife and children but with the economic partnership of his brothers, and his death left his daughters in the position of poor relations until their mother came into her own inheritance; the family moved to smaller quarters and had to cut down on servants.
		Guggenheim, who had not wanted to come home at all, was now very nearly cast as a patriot, and her personal escape into art began to take on the force of a campaign for the Stars and Stripes.
		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.

		Daughter of the negligent, promiscuous Benjamin Guggenheim (he of the Titanic) and of a psychologically unbalanced mother, Peggy was apparently cursed with a truly hideous nose.
		Peggy Guggenheim was an important impresario of high modernism, and the gallery she opened in New York during the Second World War served as a vital conduit into America for surrealism and abstraction.

		As the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim and Florette Seligman, Peggy was raised in one of the wealthiest and most socially influential Jewish families in New York.
		Over the years Guggenheim gave away much of her collection, and although her pieces from the 1930s and 1940s, bought with the counsel of Duchamp and Ernst, possessed more overall quality than her later acquisitions, the Guggenheim collection still has significant importance.

	An artless life that made art available for all \| csmonitor.com
		Guggenheim was fatherless by age 14, when Benjamin Guggenheim sank with the Titanic.
		On the one hand, Florette and Benjamin Guggenheim's middle daughter was blessed with a tall, slender, much admired figure, and a face that, if one ignored her nose, was nominally pretty.
		As for real maternity, Guggenheim shamefully neglected her children, either by default – leaving them with friends, extended family, or nannies – or through incorporating them into an invariably confusing, bizarre ménage where their need for parental intimacy was relegated to visiting with their mother in the presence of others.

		Peggy's father, Benjamin Guggenheim, brother to Solomon, left the family mining business and lived on his interest in the company, making his daughter one of the "poor" Guggenheims.
		Her first gallery, Guggenheim Jeune, opened in London in 1938 to the derision of her friends and the scorn of her uncle Solomon and his influential mistress.
		Guggenheim closed the gallery in 1947 and settled in Venice, where she opened her collection to the public and showed it in the 1948 Venice Biennale, an unheard-of distinction.

		Benjamin Guggenheim died in 1912 on the Titanic; he was the first-class passenger who, legend has it, put on evening clothes and resolved to die like a gentleman.
		He left three trusts of about $250,000 each to Peggy Guggenheim and her two sisters, which they could not draw on until they reached age 21.These trusts were refreshed by an additional $250,000 left by Peggy Guggenheim's mother, Florette, when she died in 1937.
		When Guggenheim reached age 21 in 1919, she did what many Americans of her generation did and fled to Paris, where the cost of living was low and the probability of immoral adventure high.

		Benjamin Buchloh: At first, in an entirely pragmatic sense, Gerhard Richter proposed that I work together with him on a project again.
		Benjamin Buchloh: That’s always been one of Richter’s essential strategies; in a more general sense, a radical reduction of perception and meaning took place in the art of the sixties.
		Benjamin Buchloh: Yes, one of the reasons I’ve been working on the book about Richter for so long and still haven’t finished certainly lies in the large number of techniques and positions.

		Born to two great New York fortunes, the copper riches of the Guggenheims and the banking millions of the Seligmans, Peggy Guggenheim had the gloss of a lady but the vulgarity of a madam in her conversation and in her reaction to men, which bordered on the nymphomaniacal.
		Guggenheim is at her wit's end because the president of Italy is due any minute to look over the collection as a possible gift to the nation, and her ungrateful maid has resigned on a minute's notice without helping her prepare for the visit.
		In the end, Guggenheim did leave her entire collection to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum with the proviso that it be exhibited in her palazzo in Venice, where it is a major tourist attraction to this day.
