Dive into the unconventional life of Peggy Guggenheim, the visionary collector who shaped the course of 20th-century art. Together we will explore Guggenheim's influential relationships with artists like Jackson Pollock, Dorothea Tanning, Max Ernst, and Marcel Duchamp, and her pivotal role in promoting modernism. Through discussion and visual analysis, participants will gain insight into how Guggenheim's passion and daring taste helped define an era.
This workshop is for all abilities - for those that do not know anything about art and want to learn more, as well as for more experienced art historians and anyone wanting to expand their knowledge on art or visual culture.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
