She described the Guggenheim Museum established by her uncle Solomon in New York City as 'my uncle's garage, that Frank Lloyd Wright thing on Fifth Avenue.'
She said, 'I think I'm rather stupid. I have no memory, I don't remember anything. That's very bad for an intellectual.'

Why she might not be annoying:

Her father Benjamin died in the sinking of the Titanic.
She provided support and exposure to modern artists like Kandinsky, Miro, Klee, Rothko and Pollock.
Critic Clement Greenberg wrote, 'She gave first showings to more serious new artists than anyone else in the country.'
