	Peggy Guggenheim
		Born Marguerite Guggenheim, on August 26, 1898 to a wealthy New York City family, she was the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim, who went down with the Titanic in 1912 and the niece of Solomon Guggenheim would establish the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
		At the age of 21 Peggy Guggenheim inherited a small fortune, but as the poorer branch of the family, it was an amount far less than the vast wealth of her father's siblings.
		The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is the most important museum in Italy for European and American art of the first half of the 20th century.

		The SRGF was founded in 1937 by Solomon R. Guggenheim (SRG) to share his growing art collection with the public and for the "promotion and encouragement and education in art and the enlightenment of the public."

		This correspondence focuses on the Peggy Guggenheim exhibition at the SRGM in 1969 as well as the transfer of the PGC to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1975.

		Peggy Guggenheim was one of the most important (and celebrated) art world figures of the twentieth century.
		The breadth of the collection is astonishing: from the earliest examples of abstraction by Piet Mondrian to the controlled abandon of Jackson Pollock's drip paintings (whose career she single-handedly launched), her intuition regarding the important trends was almost clairvoyant.
		Guggenheim was also deeply interested in surrealist and dada work examples of which are well represented in the collection including the fantastical landscapes of Giorgio de Chirico and Max Ernst's whimsical collages.

		Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979), whose Collection of modern paintings is on exhibition at her Uncle Solomon's Fifth Avenue Museum through March 13, began as a lover of traditional painting until encountering a Georgia O'Keeffe abstraction as a young woman.
		You have to hand it to Peggy Guggenheim, she had the instinct, insight (and guidance) to exhibit and collect many of the artists now considered important 20th Century figures.
		In a way, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, like 20th Century art as a whole, is an homage to Picasso, to the power of his world-dismantling vision which he exerted on society and its artists.

	BBC - BBC Four Documentaries - Peggy Guggenheim
		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.
		Obviously we're interested in her because of her massive art collection, and we're interested in her too because of her private life, but the two halves of her life get in the way of each other.
		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 father died in the Titanic, and with her inheritance she travelled around Europe, mingled with artists, collected their works and married one too: Max Ernst, whose 'The Robing of the Bride' is on display here.
		As well as setting up the art collection which is now so popular a tourist attraction, Guggenheim brought a dose of individualistic glamour to twentieth-century Venice, where she travelled around, an instantly-recognisable figure, in her private gondola.
		One of the treats of visiting the collection is the chance to enjoy the squat terrace on the Grand Canal, perhaps imagining the glamorous parties which took place here in the days of Casati and of Guggenheim.

	GERMAINE RICHIER: SCULPTURES AND DRAWINGS AT THE PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION \| Art Knowledge News
		The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is honored to present to the Italian and international public the most complete retrospective since the 1996 exhibit at the Fondation Maeght in Saint Paul, France.
		The presence of an important work by Richier, Tauromachy (1953), in the collection of Peggy Guggenheim originated the exhibition: the sculpture is emblematic of Peggy Guggenheim’s love of Richier’s work, which she had already begun to collect in 1960.
		It served as a metaphor for the brutal relationship between living creatures and their environment, in which a surrealist composition completes the hybridisation of human and animal—Tauromachy and The Hydra both of 1954—in which the metamorphoses is an integral part of the sculptural language.
