Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict 2015
Plot Synopsis
Neither a painter nor a sculptor, Peggy Guggenheim is nevertheless regarded as one of the most important figures in the 20th Century art scene. Born into the wealthy Guggenheim family, the legendary socialite developed a voracious appetite for modern art, and using the vast funds available to her, accumulated an incredible collection of works by Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Max Ernst among many others, and she was instrumental in advancing the careers of many American artists.
Guggenheim's legendary collection, now worth billions of dollars, is exhibited in Venice, Italy and remains one of the city's most-visited attractions. Lisa Immordino Vreeland's documentary pays loving tribute to this singular force of nature and instrumental tastemaker of the last century.
