Born into the wealthy Guggenheim family in New York, Peggy Guggenheim was the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim, who went down with the Titanic in 1912; and niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim, who established the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
Peggy Guggenheim created a remarkable collection of art, from Surrealism to Expressionism, in Europe and America, mainly between 1938 and 1946.
