OUT OF THIS CENTURY (PEGGY GUGGENHEIM) (PB)

This is the fascinating autobiography of a society heiress who became the bohemian doyenne of the art world. It is the frank and outspoken story of her life and loves: her stormy relationships with such men as Max Ernst and Jackson Pollock, and her discovery of new artists. Known as "the mistress of modern art", Peggy Guggenheim was a passionate collector and major patron. She amassed one of the most important collections of early twentieth century European and American art embracing cubism, surrealism and expressionism.
