Peggy Guggenheim - the Mistress of Modernism | Ep.80 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
1Description
This week - in the first of his summer solo specials - Phil speaks to writer Mary Dearborn about her biography of the remarkable Peggy Guggenheim.
Peggy was probably the most significant collector of - and advocate for - the visual art of the 20th Century and she helped launch the careers of numerous internationally famous artists. She was also as renowned for her sexual exploits as her artistic ones, with a string of lovers and husbands that included some of the most famous men of the 20th Century, from Samuel Beckett to Max Ernst.
It’s a fascinating insight into a tempestuous, scandalous but also hugely important life.
