In the third generation, Harry Guggenheim, Daniel's son, took over leadership and made the family a force in aviation, publishing, and horse racing. He desperately sought a successor but tragically failed and was forced to watch as the great Guggenheim enterprise crumbled. But meanwhile, "Guggenheim" came to mean art more than industry. In the mid 20th century, led by Harry's son Solomon and his niece Peggy, the Guggenheims became the agents of modernism in the visual arts. Peggy, while in America during the war years, midwives the school of abstract expression, which brought leadership in art to New York. Solomon's museum has been innovative in spreading the riches of western art around the world.
