EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Guggenheim, a portrait photograph captured by Arnold Genthe on April 16, 1919, presents a captivating image of American art collector, bohemian, and socialite, Peggy Guggenheim. The image, part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Peggy in an elegant outfit, donning a fur coat, a pearl necklace, and a stylish hat. The photograph, taken during the 1910s in the United States, captures the essence of the era's fashion trends and the allure of the flapper style. Peggy Guggenheim, born Marguerite Sarah Guggenheim, was a prominent figure in the modern art world. She was not only a dedicated patron of the arts but also a visionary collector, who later founded the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a modern art museum in Venice, Italy. Her love for art and fashion was evident in her eclectic wardrobe, which included statement pieces like the fur coat and pearl necklace seen in this portrait. The photograph, taken as a glass negative, highlights the intricate details of Peggy's apparel, from the textured fabric of her coat to the delicate pearls adorning her neck. The image also reveals her expressive face, which exudes confidence and a certain nonchalant charm. The location of the photograph remains unknown, but the timeless fashion and the enigmatic presence of Peggy Guggenheim make this portrait an enduring piece of heritage art.
