Scandalous Women

The Press Called Her an Heiress. Her Family Called HerA Stray. Peggy Guggenheim Did T just Collect Art, She Built the Foundation of the 20th Century While the World Burned around Her. From the Tragic Sinking of the Titanic to the Quiet Finality of A Palace in Venice, This is the Story of the Woman Who Discovered Pollock, Married Max Ernst, and Defied Every Expectation of Her Dynasty. In This Episode of Mythic Women, We Trace the Life of A Woman Who Turned Her Dis Placement into A Legacy. We Explore Her Volatile Marriage to Laurence Vail, Her Scandalous Time in London with John Holms, and the ‘Art of This Century‘ Gallery that Re Defined the American Art Scene. We Also Look at Her Complex, Tragic Relationship with Her Daughter, Pegeen Vail, and How the Art She Saved from theVichy RegimeEventually Found Its Permanent Home on theGrand Canal.
