I adore this fabulous collection of modern art, that's housed in a grand airy palazzo on the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere of Venice. Peggy Guggenheim's spirit lives on here, and you can imagine her taking off from her terrace in her one of her floral dresses and signature huge sunglasses for a private gondola ride, that she took religiously every evening at sunset. The collection is awesome: Calder, Picasso, Mondrian--she made a vow when she started collecting to buy only the work of living artists. And I love talking to the docents--young, enthusiastic, smart types who are in Venice on Guggenheim fellowships.
