Peggy Guggenheim Collection | Venice, Italy

Peggy Guggenheim collection
Venice, Italy

Marguerite "Peggy" Guggenheim was an American art collector, bohemian and socialite. Born to the wealthy New York City Guggenheim family, she was the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim, who went down with the Titanic in 1912, and the niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim, who established the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Solomon R. Guggenheim’s niece, Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979), was a self-described “art addict” who sought to distinguish herself from her business-oriented relatives and make her mark on the world through collecting and traveling in avant-garde circles. Peggy’s collections, galleries, and museum were all stamped with her distinct tastes and style. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of the most important museums of European and American art of the twentieth century in Italy. All of the pictures taken were from the collection I went to visit when I was in Venice, Italy on my study abroad.
