On view over 150 artworks that have as common denominator the versatility of the artist

With “Jean Cocteau - The Juggler’s Rematch,” the Peggy Guggenheim Collection offers over 150 artworks that have as their common denominator the incredible versatility of the artist.

After all, even those who participate in minor auctions, even those who compete for works for a few hundred euros look with a complacent eye to major international awards. Convinced that, perhaps, sooner or later, it might also be up to them to witness a marked rise in the trade of some work in the collection and, perhaps, realize the blow of life.

Moreover, many people will have to be satisfied with cheap tourist destinations, enduring mosquitoes, unruly kids, mothers who yell even more than their children, and fathers in socks and singlets.
