The Obsessed with Art provides a comprehensive picture of the history of modern art, through the life history of the style’s most famous art collector and patron. Although Guggenheim’s name may be synonymous with art, the film also shines a spotlight on her other passions.
Peggy Guggenheim documentary is based in large part on an audio-recording of the last interview she ever gave, which was captured by biographer Jacqueline B. Weld in the late seventies.
Screenings will take place at the Művész, Pushkin, Toldi cinemas and the Uránia National Film Theater and beside the screening in the Capital several art cinemas throughout the country for the modern art lovers can be viewed this awesome documenary @ cities: Debrecen, Pécs, Miskolc, Szolnok and Kecskemét.
A colourful character who was not only ahead of her time but helped to define it, Peggy Guggenheim was an heiress to a family fortune who became a central figure in the modern art movement. As she moved through the cultural upheaval of the 20th century, she collected not only art; she collected artists. Her colourful personal history included such figures as Samuel Beckett, Max Ernst, Jackson Pollock, Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp as well as countless others. While fighting through personal tragedy, she maintained her vision to build one of the most important collections of modern art, now enshrined in her Venetian palazzo.
