New York | Going Dark⚫️ Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

💜The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is one of the most famous museums under the Guggenheim Foundation and the second World Cultural Heritage site in New York City after the Statue of Liberty. Since its establishment, it has showcased avant-garde artworks by early modern artists like Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian. 💜Hours: 10:30 AM - 5:30 PM (Closed on Tuesdays) Admission: Adults $30, Students/Seniors (65+)$19, CUNY/Members/12 & Under Free, Pay as You Wish on Saturdays from 5:30 PM (online reservation required) 💜From the street, it looks like a white headband coiled around cylindrical pillars, widening slightly as it rises. Its exterior stands in stark contrast to the square Manhattan buildings around it; Wright once said his museum makes the nearby Metropolitan Museum look like a “pagan empty room.” 💜Inside, the viewing gallery forms a slowly rising spiral walkway that reaches the top of the building. Artworks are displayed in sequence along the walls of the spiral, with some also shown in display rooms on the steps of the corridor. ——Current Exhibitions—— Going Dark: The Contemporary Figure at the Edge of Visibility (October 20, 2023 - April 7, 2024) “Going Dark” features over 100 works by 28 artists, most of whom are Black, and more than half are women. Focusing on conceptual art from the 1980s to the present, the artworks feature partially blurred or hidden figures, placing them at the “edge of visibility.” 💜By Way Of: Material and Motion in the Guggenheim Collection (March 5, 2024 - January 12, 2025) One of the most prominent features of late 18th-century art is the tendency of artists to develop traditional artistic methods beyond the studio’s boundaries. The exhibition explores how contemporary artists have broken through the boundaries of art creation and materials, formulating new ideas shaped by the social and historical context of their time. 💜Thannhauser Collection (Ongoing) The exhibition offers an important survey of late 19th and early 20th-century modernism. Artists of this period sought to liberate art from academic schools and introduce contemporary themes, laying the foundation for the development of radical new styles. #NewYork #NewYorkArtScene #GuggenheimMuseum #NYCMuseumRecommendations #NewYorkWeekend #ContemporaryArt #InstaWorthyExhibitions #ArtSelfies
