Items: Marcel Duchamp's Lonely Boy on Train, from the same period as his famed Nude Descending a Staircase; examples of the 1913 Moscow Suprematist movement by Founder Malevitch and Follower Lissitzky; key works by Mondrian, Kandinsky, Braque, Picasso and Pollock. So famous is her collection that Venice's international Biennale once gave her a pavilion all to herself. Says Peggy: "It was wonderful, I was listed with Germany and France.

But Picasso's latest work shows that he has lost none of his amazing powers of draftsmanship nor his virtuoso ability to improvise on a theme until it is obedient to his will. With age, Picasso becomes more impatient. His own limitations-an insensibility to the sensual qualities...
