ArtsNational Perth- Peggy Guggenheim: A Life of Collecting

Describing herself by writing, "I am a museum", Peggy Guggenheim's life took a clear path, from commercial gallery in London, going on a single-minded shopping trip to Paris in the late 1930's even as the German tanks were rolling in to the suburbs, to escape (with her selection of European artists) to New York and the subsequent establishment of her museum (and Arts centre), and finally the purchase of the eccentric 'unfinished palazzo' in Venice, her collection remains one of the most iconic assemblages of Twentieth century art in the world.
