Guggenheim Museum

Museum New York, New York

The Guggenheim in New York is the first museum in the world created by the Salomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Opened on March 21, 1959, this museum is world famous for its structure. The museum space was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who devised an extraordinary spiral with an environment in which visitors are taken to the top level by an elevator and then walk up the ramp where the works are exhibited.

The museum has nearly 7,000 works that are not exhibited simultaneously, but in rotation. By way of example, we can recall that, among the artists in the catalog (575 in total), whose activity covers the period from the end of the 19th century to the present day, there are Georges Braque, Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gaugain, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Georges Seurat, Vincent Van Gogh, Édouard Vuillard, Vasilij Vasil'evič Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Marc Chagall. Alongside these great artists of the past, the Guggenheim Museum collection continues to grow, with the purchase of works by contemporary artists. Among the most recent acquisitions, there are works by Bani Abidi, Reza Afisina, Ai Weiwei, Khadim Ali, Luis Camnitzer, Adriano Costa, Federico Herrero, Piero Manzoni, Gabriel Sierra, Erika Verzutti, Carla Zaccagnini.
