In 1942, having fled the war in Europe, she opened her gallery in New York “Art of this century”. It will exhibit Rothko, Pollock, Paul Klee and many others. After the war she returned to Europe and set up her collection in Venice, in the Palazzo Venier Dei Leoni. The Peggy Guggenheim Museum opened its doors there in 1952. She died in 1979 near Venice.
