Encounters with Peggy Guggenheim

By

Abstract

Born into a wealthy New York family in 1898, Marguerite 'Peggy' Guggenheim was one of the greatest art collectors of the 20th century. Using her inheritance to open her first art gallery, Peggy's love of art lead her to eventually settle in Venice. In 'Encounters With Peggy Guggenheim' photographer Stefan Moses reveals his collection of photographs of Peggy, taken between 1969 and 1974. Striking, eccentric and dramatic, Mosese photographed Peggy in her favourite places around Venice, as well as in her private palazzo at Canal Grande.
