A spirited portrait of the colorful, irrepressible, and iconoclastic American collector who fearlessly advanced the cause of modern art.

One of twentieth-century America’s most influential patrons of the arts, Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979) brought to wide public attention the work of such modern masters as Jackson Pollock and Man Ray. In her time, there was no stronger advocate for the groundbreaking and the avant-garde. Her midtown gallery was the acknowledged center of the postwar New York art scene, and her museum on the Grand Canal in Venice remains one of the world’s great collections of modern art. Yet as renowned as she was for the art and artists she so tirelessly championed, Guggenheim was equally famous for her unconventional personal life, and for her ironic, playful desire to shock.
 
Acclaimed best-selling author Francine Prose offers a singular reading of Guggenheim’s life that will enthrall enthusiasts of twentieth-century art, as well as anyone interested in American and European culture and the interrelationships between them. The lively and insightful narrative follows Guggenheim through virtually every aspect of her extraordinary life, from her unique collecting habits and paradigm-changing discoveries, to her celebrity friendships, failed marriages, and scandalous affairs, and Prose delivers a colorful portrait of a defiantly uncompromising woman who maintained a powerful upper hand in a male-dominated world. Prose also explores the ways in which Guggenheim’s image was filtered through the lens of insidious antisemitism.

Very pleased
Color: Black, Size: 8' Wide x 30" Tall
This works great, and I find it to be very effective at soundproofing. The hinge is good quality, and it rolls up easily. It is slightly on the heavier side, but that is to be expected considering its larger size. The materials used to make it are top quality, and it will last a long time.

Works as Expected
Color: Black
This Under Armour skull cap does exactly what it's supposed to do. It fits comfortably, stays in place, and works well under a helmet. The material is lightweight and breathable, helping keep sweat out of your eyes during games and practices. Makes it easy to put on and remove helmet. It has held up well after multiple washes and remains comfortable to wear for extended periods. Nothing fancy, but it's a quality product from a trusted brand that serves its purpose perfectly. I would definitely buy it again.

Cool
Color: Black
Been wearing these for about ten years! Nothing better to keep a bald head warm than these. The mesh up top lets your head breathe and dissipate heat. I will miss the wider bland then the thin one now because your head does slip out of it instead of it securing comfortably to your scalp! But I don't know maybe the cost of materials dropped the headband width to what it is now! Anyway, still a great piece!
