An identical model was gifted by Peggy Guggenheim to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Miss Guggenheim played a significant role in the growth of the Fucina degli Angeli, and her passion and dedication to the circumstances of the Fucina prompted many prestigious artists to lend their talents to the association.
