Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, 2015. 24cm., hardcover, 240pp. illus. Summary: Without the support of art collector and gallery owner Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979), artists such as Jackson Pollock and Man Ray might never have achieved the widespread recognition and financial success they ultimately enjoyed. She began collecting and exhibiting masterworks by de Kooning, Duchamp, Kandinsky, Klee, and Picasso long before these legendary artists became household names, and her enthusiastic support and promotion of the avant-garde was instrumental in changing the public’s perception of modern art. Brash, stubborn, outspoken, and sexually adventurous, Guggenheim, in her personal life, was as daring as the surrealism she tirelessly championed, and the history of twentieth-century art would undoubtedly be very different without her considerable contributions.
