A Woman of Vision: Peggy Guggenheim – Online Art Lecture @ Online
Mar 18 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Peggy Guggenheim was a daring, charismatic and intelligent woman who knew a thing or two about art and artists (after all, she was married to Max Ernst). Peggy hired the revolutionary French artist, Marcel Duchamp, to be her mentor and collected his early works. One of her most brilliant insights was to see the potential of the American Abstract/Expressionist painter, Jackson Pollock, and to become his patron. Pollock remains one of the most influential painters in American art history.
Peggy led one of the great uncategorizable 20th-century lives. Poor little rich girl? Sexual libertine? Scandalous memoirist? Parisian emigre? Venetian doyenne?
Influential art collector? Even more influential gallery owner? All of the above.
Join art historian Kevin Costello as we examine her life and her idiosyncratic collection.
This exciting, live virtual art lecture series is free to Alliance members or $15 for non-members. You may become a member to participate. Pre-registration is required at ArtInLee.org/Classes.
Please note: this interactive and hands-on lecture is hosted online, which means you get to enjoy it from the comfort of your living room, studio or kitchen table! It will be hosted via Zoom. If you’ve never used zoom before, we suggest you take some time to familiarize yourself with the platform ahead of time and download the app. You can find everything you’ll need at Zoom.us or in the App store on your phone or tablet. An access link will be provided prior to the start of class.
