This Day in History, 34 Years Ago: Peggy Guggenheim

Jackson Pollock once urinated in her fireplace at a party.  And she forgave him.

Of course he'd just painted this ...


... for her foyer.  So I'd be in a forgiving mood too.

There's some thought they had an affair as well.  The Times ran a great piece by Grace Gleuk back in 1987 titled "Paying Tribute to the Daring of Peggy Guggenheim."  Required reading, if you're interested, here.
