"Now celebrating its 75th Anniversary, the collection of the fabled dealer and collector is showcased in her Venetian residence, the exquisite one-story Palazzo Venier dei Leoni; I returned to marvel at how the fearless Peggy, an insatiable collector and visionary dealer, first showcased the work of Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner and championed the leading figures in the Dada (Max Ernst was her second husband), Surrealist, and Abstract Expressionist movements, while savoring the palazzo’s storied past, which at one point included ownership by the fantastically eccentric Marchesa Casati." - Hamish Bowles
