	Peggy Guggenheim Is Dead at 81; Known for Modern Art Collection : New York Times (1979) - 24 December 1979
		Guggenheim, who had been ill for some time and recently had suffered a stroke, was hospitalized Nov. 15 in Camposampiero, on the mainland near this city, which had been her home since shortly after World War II.
		Peggy Guggenheim picked herself up from the trials of luxury, a New York bourgeois childhood that she found stifling, and threw herself into wild Bohemian life abroad, going through husbands and lovers as though lots more were in the wings.
		Guggenheim met scores of famous people: James Joyce en famille, Marcel Duchamp and André Masson at leisure, Ezra Pound on the tennis court ("Ezra was a good player, but he crowed like a rooster whenever he made a good stroke," she wrote), and Isadora Duncan in flower (Isadora called her Guggie Peggleheim).

		The Guggenheims, with a similar immigrant background, were equally blessed with commercial nous, though they made their fortune primarily in metals, controlling 75% to 80% of the world's copper, silver and lead by the time of the first world war.
		Peggy was born in 1898 in one of New York's grandest hotels, where her parents were living before moving to their own enormous mansion on the Upper East Side, all marble staircases, tigerskin rugs and Louis XVI.
		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.

		Peggy Guggenheim was born in New York on 26 August 1898, the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim and Florette Seligman.
		Benjamin Guggenheim was one of seven brothers who, with their father, Meyer (of Swiss origin), created a family fortune in the late 19th century from the mining and smelting of metals, especially silver, copper and lead.
		In her early 20s, Peggy volunteered for work at a bookshop, the Sunwise Turn, in New York and thanks to this began making friends in intellectual and artistic circles, including the man who was to become her first husband in Paris in 1922, Laurence Vail.

		Peggy was a powerful person during her five years in New York; as one of America's leading art impresarios, she could make careers.
		Peggy's gallery was the first to show Jackson Pollock, and the list of artists who either got their start in her gallery or appeared there early in their careers includes Willem de Kooning, Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko, David Hare and Giorgio de Chirico.
		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.

		Guggenheim later wrote that the intensity of her longing for her son, who was five, nearly destroyed the new relationship, but by then there was no way back.
		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.

		Peggy Guggenheim was not the most important patron of modern art in the twentieth century.
		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.
		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, arts patron and heir to an industrial fortune made in copper mining and engineering, met Goldman and Alexander Berkman in the French Riviera, through a mutual friend, following the anarchist pair's deportation from America.
		"Peggy was well aware of the power her money gave her, and she used it throughout her life, often cruelly, to bolster her low self-esteem and to help her stand up to the sexism many of her men displayed," according to Gill.
		Guggenheim died of complications from heart disease in 1979, and is buried in a corner of her garden in Venice.

		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).

		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.
		They were very scrupulous about how they depicted Jackson Pollock but one thing you can almost certainly say about Peggy Guggenheim is that she never had sex with Pollock, whereas in the film she did.
		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.

		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.
		Today, "Peggy's Place", now run as part of the Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation with other wonderful museum in Bilbao, Spain and New York City, is best visited by gondola down the Grand Canal past the Salute and entered past the "erect" horseman's statue in the courtyard.
