Collezione Peggy Guggenheim
A most intimate look into the world and life of Peggy Guggenheim, and her personal collection of Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. Set inside her home at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni in Venice, the collection reflects the artists she championed, many of whom she had close relationships, making the experience deeply personal. Don’t miss: Landscape with Red Spots No. 2 by Wassily Kandinsky, Birth of Liquid Desires by Salvador Dalí, Alchemy by Jackson Pollock, Woman, Moon, Birds by Joan Miró, and The Antipope by Max Ernst—five works that were deeply personal to Peggy, that reflect both her early support of avant-garde artists and the intimate, experimental spirit of her collection.
