The great collector and arts patron Peggy Guggenheim came into her own in London, where her pioneering gallery, Guggenheim Jeune, staged more than 20 groundbreaking exhibitions between 1938 and 1939. “Peggy Guggenheim in London: The Making of a Collector” at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection explores this formative time through key works and archival materials, highlighting the era’s avant-garde art and Guggenheim's relationships with artists and influential friends. The exhibition presents 100 artworks from those early exhibitions — including Vasily Kandinsky’s first solo London show — alongside works by other artists of the period, including Salvador Dalí, Barbara Hepworth and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
