A colorful character who was not only ahead of her time but helped to define it, Peggy Guggenheim was an heiress to her family fortune who became a central figure in the modern art movement. As she moved through the cultural upheaval of the 20^th century, she collected not only art, but also artists. Her colorful personal history included such figures as Max Ernst (whom she married), Samuel Beckett, Jackson Pollock, Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp, as well as countless others. While fighting through personal tragedy, she maintained her vision to build one of the most important collections of modern art, now enshrined in her Venetian palazzo. Director: Lisa Immordino Vreeland. (US 2015) 97 min.
