[EAN: 9780810969148], [PU: Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation September 1998], This elegant volume celebrates the 100th anniversary of Peggy Guggenheim's birth in 1898. Guggenheim's granddaughter Karole Vail provides an intimate biographical account of the collector's extraordinary life from her privileged upbringing through her friendships with such avant-garde figures as Samuel Beckett and Marcel Duchamp. Before World War II, she ran the Guggenheim Jeune gallery in London; there, she quickly accumulated a superb collection of Surrealist and abstract art. In 1942, she escaped to New York with Max Ernst and opened the landmark Art of This Century gallery, where she exhibited her collection and works by such emerging artists as Jackson Pollock. Guggenheim finally settled in Venice in the 18th-century palazzo that became the Peggy Guggenheim Collection after her death. Her guestbooks, pages from which are published here for the first time, reveal an astounding array of visitors, and drawings by Jean Arp, Marc Chagall, and Alberto Giacometti, among others. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Peggy Guggenheim's birth, her granddaughter Karole Vail provides an intimate biographical account of the collector's life, covering her privileged upbringing, her collections of Surrealist and abstract art, and her part in founding, with Max Ernst, the landmark Art of the Century gallery in New York. 125 illustrations, 81 in color., Books<
