Solomon R Guggenheim Museum
modern art museum established in New York City by the philanthropist Solomon R. Guggenheim
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Museum in New York City housing the Solomon R. Guggenheim collection of modern art. An example of the "organic architecture" of Frank Lloyd Wright, the building (constructed 1956-59) represents a radical departure from traditional museum design, spiraling upward and outward in a smooth coil of massive, unadorned white concrete. The exhibition space, which has been criticized for upstaging the artwork displayed, consists of a six-story-high spiral ramp encircling an open centre volume lighted by a dome of glass supported by stainless steel. The museum has a comprehensive collection of European painting from throughout the 20th century and of American painting from the second half of the century
