Not Art Historians

Peggy Guggenheim: an Heiress, two Husbands, and one Heist

Listen Later

Join Zak and Lianne as they dive into the charmed yet tragic life of heiress turned influential art collector. We’ll follow the New York debutante as she traipses through WWII Europe, evading Nazis as she brushes shoulders with the likes of Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Perennially unlucky in love (you’ll have to listen to find out how many husbands), Guggenheim still cements her own name as a renowned gallerist.
