Bored with her seemingly \"pedestrian\" life in New York, she headed for Europe in 1921, where she would sow the seeds for a future as one of modern art's most important and influential figures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the midst of Europe's avant-garde circles, she reveled in her love affairs with prominent artists and also became a serious collector. Her Guggenheim Jeune gallery in London brought figures such as Brâncusi, Cocteau, Kandinsky, and Arp to the forefront of the art scene. Later her New York gallery would launch the careers of Jackson Pollock and Robert Motherwell, among others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn her own inimitable and bawdy style, Peggy gives us an insider's glimpse into the modern art world with intimate, often surprising portrayals of its most significant players.
