In Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict, Peggy Guggenheim found her unlikely vocation as art impresario while she was looking for her own identity. Her heritage, charisma, and unstoppable energy helped promote the careers of some of the most important artists of the twentieth century, including: Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Wassily Kandinsky, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell and Jackson Pollock. Her story is a whirlwind through the uncertain yet thrilling beginnings of the twentieth century, a time of unprecedented cultural upheaval. It is a rich story of a woman who awakened herself through her extraordinary personality, her abiding love for the arts, and her dedication to the lives of the artists who shared their world with her. Peggy Guggenheim’s collection would come to define her and would become her legacy.
