Peggy Guggenheim: A Life of Collecting
Presented by Charlie Hall & ArtsNational Margaret River
Monday, July 27 @ 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Describing herself by writing, “I am a museum”, Peggy Guggenheim’s life took a clear path, from commercial gallery in London, going on a single-minded shopping trip to Paris in the late 1930’s even as the German tanks were rolling in to the suburbs, to escape (with her selection of European artists) to New York and the subsequent establishment of her museum (and Arts centre), and finally the purchase of the eccentric ‘unfinished palazzo’ in Venice. Her collection remains one of the most iconic assemblages of Twentieth century art in the world.
Charlie Hall is a passionate arts educator, lecturer and guide, based in London and Italy. He is a director of the highly regarded John Hall Venice Course, (est. 1965) tour lecturer and leader of independent tours in Italy. Charlie has designed a series of art talks and led courses for Christie’s Education and The Serpentine Gallery ‘Collector’s Circle.
