Description
Peggy Guggenheim, heiress and art collector, sits in the sun at her white marble palazzo on the Grand Canal, reflecting on a life of passion and personal freedom. Her journey has been thrilling, tragic, and near-impossible, marked by the loss of her father on the Titanic and her subsequent determination to pursue a life of her own making. As she navigates the decadent, sexist, and anti-Semitic art worlds of New York and Paris, Peggy faces unexpected restrictions and societal expectations. Despite being loved and admired for her wealth, she is often overlooked for her intellect, talent, and vision. It is only when she learns to believe in herself that she is able to find contentment and make a lasting impact on the art world. Rebecca Godfrey's final book brings to life the singular woman who helped make the Guggenheim name synonymous with art and genius.
