Peggy Guggenheim (1898 - 1979) was an American art collector. Born Marguerite Guggenheim to a wealthy New York City family, she was the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim, (who went down with the Titanic in 1912), and the niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim.

Peggy Guggenheim wrote her autobiography in 1946 entitled Out of This Century, later revised and re-published as Confessions of an Art Addict.

In 1949, she established her art collection in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal in Venice. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection remains one of the most visited attractions in that city.

Quotes by Peggy Guggenheim (?)

“When the nuns came to be blessed by the Patriarch, who on special holy days, went by my house in a motorboat, I detached the phallus of the horseman and hid it in a drawer. I also did this on certain days when I had to receive stuffy visitors, but occasionally I forgot, and when confronted with this phallus found myself in great embarrassment. The only thing to do in such cases was to ignore it. In Venice a legend spread that I had several phalluses of different sizes, like spare parts, which I used on different occasions.”

“The second was my stupidity in not availing myself of the opportunity of buying ‘La Terre Labourée’, of Miró, in London in 1939 for fifteen hundred dollars. Now, if it were for sale, it would be worth well over fifty thousand.”

“She seemed to like best my daughter, Pegeen's, paintings, thought when I made the observation that the people in Pegeen's paintings, strangely enough, never seem to be engaged in any conversation with each other, all going their own ways, Mrs. Luce replied, 'Maybe they have nothing to say.”
