The Peggy Guggenheim Collection: Venice

Went to the Peggy Guggenheim palazzo when we were in Venice mostly because I wanted to visit her grave and the sweet memorial to her beloved Lhasa Apsos, but also enjoyed seeing the Jenny Holzer benches, the shimmering headboard and earrings Calder made for her, the two Joseph Cornell boxes, the spare and angular chairs tucked in the room corners that no one can sit on any more, and the radiant pigments chromatically arranged in the conservation studio. It was also lovely to observe the big tree in her courtyard garden, maybe the biggest one we saw the whole time we were in Venice.
