Art Lover: A Biography of Peggy Guggenheim

Art Lover: A Biography of Peggy Guggenheim

Good book at tracking where she was and what she bought, doesn't touch overly much on why she did what she did. Her relationship with her children is troubling, but it seems like there must have been some good there for them to still want to be with her. All we read is bad, I think there must be more to it. Definitely interesting on an art historical side, to hear about Ernst and Pollock and Klee and others as secondary characters to someone else for a change!
8/10
