See all of our newslettersPeggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) was one such collector, and was briefly also a dealer, this period of her life covered for the first time in large-scale exhibition format through “The Making of a Collector,” which I happened to catch in person at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.
The show is dedicated to Guggenheim’s British years and to Guggenheim Jeune, the gallery she ran at 30 Cork Street from January 1938 to June 1939.

A few people at parties told me this was their favorite work in Venice this year and I doubted them, not being a Kandinsky guy.
Guggenheim bought the Moore herself.
