		In 1937, Peggy Guggenheim, at the age of 39, found herself temporarily without a man. Having made a frantic career of men for the past twenty years, she could easily have acquired another, but she was momentarily surfeited.
		Their language was dominated by phrases describing Guggenheim’s “addictive personality” and “her wildness and emotional extravagance.”[24] Like Saarinen more than forty years earlier, Gere and Vaizey continue to reflect uncritically and rely upon the tone of Guggenheim’s autobiographies, emphasising character and personal emotional life rather analysis of the work as patron.
		For example, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation set up in 1925 by Peggy Guggenheim’s uncle Simon, provided generous and non-prescriptive fellowships to “writers, economists, scientists[and] artists.”[35] Similarly, the family of Peggy Guggenheim’s mother—the Seligmans—keenly demonstrated how cultured they were through their support of classical education, opera, and library donations (TWG 111).
