June Lecture - Peggy Guggenheim - A Life of Collecting
About
When Peggy Guggenheim described herself in writing as, "I am a museum", her life took a clear path: from setting up a commercial gallery in London; to travelling to Paris in1939 to buy art, where her intentions were curtailed by the German tanks rolling into the suburbs in April 1940; to escaping to New York with her selection of European art works, and the subsequent establishment of her museum and gallery, ‘Art of This Century’. In 1947 she purchased the eccentric 'unfinished palazzo' in Venice, where her collection remains one of the most iconic assemblages of 20th Century art in the world.For full details of the lecture see our website - https://www.artsnational.au/societies/hobart/
