Confessions of an Art Addict




During her lifetime Peggy Guggenheim collected ten Picassos, eight Mirós, three Man Rays, and three Dalís amongst others. She spent her life, and her inherited fortune, collecting beautiful and unique works of art. Her personal style is top notch, too. The fourth picture is the most amazing to come along in a while.

Believe In Me.

Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock's Lavender Mist.

"A dripping wet canvas covered the entire floor. . . There was complete silence. . . Pollock looked at the painting. Then, unexpectedly, he picked up can and paint brush and started to move around the canvas. It was as if he suddenly realized the painting was not finished. His movements, slow at first, gradually became faster and more dance like as he flung black, white, and rust colored paint onto the canvas. He completely forgot that Lee and I were there; he did not seem to hear the click of the camera shutter. . . My photography session lasted as long as he kept painting, perhaps half an hour. In all that time, Pollock did not stop. How could one keep up this level of activity? Finally, he said 'This is it.'"
- Photographer Hans Namuth, 1950.
