A new collection of items for the Venice based Peggy Guggenheim Collection, celebrating its 60th anniversary.
Who is Peggy is a mini collection of objects and accessories inspired by Peggy Guggenheim, a definitive figure in the history of 20th Century art with a unique vision and passionate love for art. Underlining Peggy’s desire to explore new forms of art are a series of colored notebooks with figures which seem to move and bags silk-screened with black and white photographed moments from her life, such as a man on the gondola, a detail from a shot that portrays the collector in her beloved Venice. An elegant ceramic typewriter and secret container symbolize Peggy’s passion for letter-writing, while two amusing ceramic bowls represent her love for lapdogs, her inseparable life companions.
