More than 40 years ago, Peggy Guggenheim was informed of her daughter's death Pegeen by a telegram while on a trip to Mexico. In her autobiography, Peggy Guggenheim wrote, "(this was in Mexico) I was informed of the terrible news of the death of my daughter, my darling Pegeen that was for me a mother, a friend and a sister.. "Pegeen Vail Guggenheim was long forgotten. Her little son, Benjamin Hélion with Benjamin Lanot, both authors bring to life the painter in an illustrated biography: PEGEEN VAIL GUGGENHEIM. At the same time an exhibition is devoted to the Guggenheim in Venice to celebrate Pegeen and her painting.
