Possessing one of the most famous names in modern art, Peggy Guggenheim built one of the twentieth century’s greatest collections.  Moving to Paris in 1921, Peggy fell in with a circle of artists that included Marcel Duchamp, whom she insists taught her everything she knew.  Being driven from Europe on the eve of World War II, Peggy reestablished herself in New York, where her gallery would help launch the careers of Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and most notably, Jackson Pollock.  Filled with both incisive talking head interviews and newly rediscovered audio tape from her final interview, Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict cuts to the core of what makes the film’s subject so enduringly fascinating: Guggenheim was both a monumental figure in the history of modern art and an intimate, in both senses of the word, of many of the century’s most famous artists and writers, from Samuel Beckett to Max Ernst (Guggenheim’s second husband) to Pollock himself.
