Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) - the main patron of artists of the twentieth century and a passionate collector - has collected the best collection of art of the first half of the last century, which includes works by Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Konstantin Brancusi, Joan Miro, Alexander Colder, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Alberto Giacometti and Marcel Duchamp In 1938, she opened her first contemporary art gallery in London, and subsequently the iconic Art of This Century gallery in New York. After a brief marriage to her third husband, artist Max Ernst, Guggenheim returned to Europe, settling in Venice, where she lived for the rest of her life, opening one of the most visited contemporary art museums in Italy today.
