Highlights
The last major work by architect
Frank Lloyd Wright, the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum's building is
itself a masterpiece and the youngest building ever to be designated
a New York City landmark. The Museum's holdings were initially based
on Solomon Guggenheim's collection of non-objective modern art,
amassed under the influence of Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen,
who had introduced Guggenheim to such artists as Fernand Leger, Marc
Chagall and Vasily Kandinsky in the late '20s. The Solomon R
Guggenheim Collection of Non-Objective Painting was first installed
in space rented on E 54th Street
In 1959, long after Guggenheim's
death, the collection moved to it's current location. It was also
after Guggenheim's death that the breadth of the collection was
expanded to include such artists as Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne,
Paul Klee, Robert Mangold, Richard Serra and others, both by
purchase and by donation
Highlights: Cezanne Bend in
the Road through the Forest; Degas Dancers in Green and
Yellow; Gaughin Man and Horse; Manet Before the
Mirror; Matisse The Italian Women; Mogdiglani Nude;
Monet Le Palais Ducal vu de Saint-Georges Majeur; Picasso Le
Moulin de la Galette; Pissaro The Hermitage at Pontoise;
Rousseau Artillerymen; van Gogh Roadway with Underpass;
Braque Violin and Palette and Piano and Mandola; Chagall Rain;
Kandinsky Blue Mountain; Leger The Smokers; Marc The
