PEGGY GUGGENHEIM "Peggy Guggenheim: A Collector's Album"; Flammarion, 1996; 176 pages. Book; blue cloth binding with illustrated dust jacket; original French edition; text by Laurence Tacou-Rumney. Throughout her long and extravagant life, Peggy Guggenheim became one of the most influential and flamboyant patrons in the history of art. Blending her private life and public activities with ease, she collected both the works and the most avant-garde artists of her time. Here we see a Peggy fascinated by the mirror of snapshots, posing with naturalness and sensuality for Man Ray or Bérenice Abbott, but also for her loved ones, in intimate moments or historic circumstances, with her lovers, husbands, children, and friends. A tireless nomad, we find her in Montparnasse at James Joyce’s home, in the arms of the young Samuel Beckett… she marries Max Ernst and introduces the public to Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell… This album draws us into the exhilarating whirlwind of one of the most fascinating women of the century. In-4 (25 x 25 cm)
