...sweeps about Venice in her private gondola, Peggy Guggenheim. 70, has borne a vexatious problem: What to do with her vast art collection when she dies? Her palazzo on the Grand Canal is filled with Cubist, Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist treasures. Museums in New York and London have clamored for it but she wanted to keep it in Venice. Then she hit upon an ingenious solution. Why not New York's Guggenheim Museum? So, title to Peggy's 263 prime works, valued at up to $12 million, will be given to the Guggenheim-on the condition that they...
...advertising copywriter in New York, then in Atlanta. In August 1961, to devote himself to poetry, he quit his job and supported his wife and two sons on small family savings and welfare checks. Six months later, they left for a year in Europe, courtesy of a $5,000 Guggenheim fellowship.

Then there is the Robert Morris who electrified Buffalonians at the 1965 Festival of the Arts by a "dance" in which he and a female partner inched across the stage, locked in embrace and clad only in mineral...
...again. Captain Guggenheim has a dark horse in this week's Derby too. His name is Captain's Gig, his odds are 5-1, and if anything in the field is likely to turn the tables on the favorites, he is it. The 1¼ miles of the Derby may be too much for Captain's Gig; he has never raced beyond a mile. But there is no faulting his record (three for three this year) or his speed. Last year he broke the Aqueduct track record for 61 furlongs. And last week at Churchill Downs, Captain...
