Peggy Guggenheim is like water: changeable, tenacious, ready to overflow when the banks become too much like an enclosure.
The works of art she collected over forty years and made accessible to all speak of a life that found its deepest meaning in the continuous pursuit of beauty. But Guggenheim was much more than that. She was a woman who anticipated the future—extraordinarily modern, relatable, and free.
This podcast, created for the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, is dedicated to Guggenheim’s life and her love for art.

The bohemian scene of 1920s Paris welcomes Peggy Guggenheim at a pivotal moment in her coming of age. She begins her work as a patron, forging friendships and romantic relationships that will forever shape her life. Not all these relationships will make her happy, but each will enrich her and bring her closer to her passions: first literature, then art.
