Love the fact that she was so dedicated she even bought paintings while she was in bed awesome

Stupendous collection in Venice. Married to Max Ernst so great taste. Early Pollocks and Rothko. Key cubist paintings. Sculptures from ARP and Brancusi. Much more and no duds. Great that she stopped collecting once new art became business and mediocre. Think YBAs.

In this interview, Hilary Brown, who was the Guggenheim's head of publicity, speaks with Peggy on her interest in modern art, how she began collecting, and her relationships with artists.
