About Peggy Guggenheim: The Last Dogaressa
Now playing at Guggenheim Exhibitions, *Peggy Guggenheim: The Last Dogaressa* traces the life of the American collector who shaped the reception of modern art on both sides of the Atlantic. The film moves from her Venetian years to her role as an unlikely conduit for Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, placing her personal contradictions alongside her public legacy. In New York, her name is institutional, but this portrait returns the focus to the person behind the collection. Its clearest insight is that taste can function as a form of power.
