The never-before-told story of Peggy Guggenheim’s formation as a gallerist, collector and patron of the avant-garde, amply illustrated with artworks and archival materials
A groundbreaking work of art historical scholarship, The Making of a Collector is the first-ever volume dedicated to Peggy Guggenheim’s experience as a burgeoning art collector in London, culminating in the opening of her first gallery, the Guggenheim Jeune. Over the course of 18 months, from January 1938 through June 1939, the gallery was a beacon for the avant-garde movements of the era, hosting over 20 exhibitions, including Vasily Kandinsky’s first solo show in London and a monographic exhibition of work by Jean Cocteau. This volume elucidates her network of influential friends―from Marcel Duchamp to Samuel Beckett and Mary Reynolds―who helped shape her vision and showcases key works from her pioneering exhibitions alongside similar works from the same period by artists such as Eileen Agar, Salvador Dalí, Barbara Hepworth, Rita Kernn-Larsen, Piet Mondrian, Henry Moore, Cedric Morris and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Replete with archival material, the book bears testimony to the period of intense experimentation and cultural vibrancy leading up to World War II.
A self-described “art addict,” Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979) was an American art collector who helped establish Cubism and Surrealism through gallery shows on both sides of the Atlantic. Her collections are now held by the Guggenheim Foundation.

Cartonato. Zustand: new. Venezia, Collezione Peggy Guggenheim, April 25 - October 19, 2026.Edited by Simon Grant and Grazina Subelyte.English Text.Venezia, 2026; hardback, pp. 272, ill., cm 22,8x27,6.(Cataloghi). Per la prima volta una mostra e un catalogo dedicati all'esperienza londinese di Peggy Guggenheim e alla sua prima galleria, Guggenheim Jeune, che in soli diciotto mesi, dal gennaio 1938 al giugno 1939, divenne un punto di riferimento per le avanguardie europee, allestendo più di ventuno mostre e distinguendosi per la promozione di artisti locali e internazionali legati all'astrazione e al Surrealismo. Tra queste, una monografica su Jean Cocteau, la prima collettiva britannica dedicata al collage e una controversa esposizione di scultura contemporanea. In un contesto segnato da straordinaria vitalità creativa e da crescenti tensioni storiche, l'impresa anticipò sviluppi destinati a incidere profondamente sull'arte del Novecento. "Nonostante abbia vita breve, la galleria svolge un ruolo essenziale nel plasmare il contesto culturale del paese negli anni che precedono la Seconda guerra mondiale" proponendosi come "alternativa radicale" al conservatorismo istituzionale. Graina Subelyte e Simon Grant, curatori del progetto, sottolineano gli aspetti rivoluzionari e filantropici di Guggenheim Jeune, il cui successo "si misura sulla base di una visione curatoriale coraggiosa e sul supporto offerto alla sperimentazione d'avanguardia". Viene così passata dettagliatamente in rassegna una fase decisiva nella formazione di Peggy Guggenheim, attraverso 16 contributi che ricostruiscono la rete di relazioni e influenze che ne guidò la visione di collezionista e mecenate - da Marcel Duchamp a Mary Reynolds fino a Samuel Beckett -, analizzando in filigrana la breve parabola di un progetto che ha contribuito a scuotere i paradigmi dell'arte contemporanea britannica. Parallelamente ne viene indagato il percorso curatoriale, che si snoda attraverso tappe che vanno dall'astrattismo audace della prima personale londinese di Vasily Kandinsky, alle "bambole-ritratto" di Marie Vassilieff, dalla distorsione materica dei ritratti di Cedric Morris fino alle "mostre che non furono" e all'influenza che questa prima pionieristica scommessa artistica ebbe sulle collezioni pubbliche britanniche nel contesto postbellico. Si delineano dunque i passaggi iniziali di un filo rosso che unisce l'esperimento londinese a quello quinquennale di New York, Art of This Century, e infine della Peggy Guggenheim Collection di Venezia. Il catalogo presenta un ampio apparato iconografico che riunisce opere chiave presentate in quelle occasioni, accanto a lavori coevi di artisti come Eileen Agar, Salvador Dalí, Barbara Hepworth, Rita Kernn-Larsen, Henry Moore, Piet Mondrian, Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Il volume è arricchito da materiali d'archivio che restituiscono il clima di intensa sperimentazione nel quale s'inserì l'attività galleristica, nonché da apparati che riassumono la cronologia delle opere presentate in mostra così come della storia della Guggenheim Jaune.
