Abstraction and Empathy
August 14–October 11, 2009
Organized by Carmen Giménez, Curator of Twentieth-Century Art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, the exhibition Abstraction and Empathy
brings together works that embody an aesthetic divide similar to the
one described in Wilhelm Worringer’s seminal 1908 book also titled Abstraction and Empathy, wherein periods of anxiety and intense
spirituality experience artistic production that tends toward a flat, crystalline “abstraction”
while cultures that are oriented toward science and the physical world are dominated by more
naturalistic, embodied styles, which Worringer grouped under the term
“empathy.”

Julie Mehretu: Grey Area
October 28, 2009–January 10, 2010
For the fifteenth project of Deutsche Guggenheim’s commission program, American artist Julie Mehretu will premiere a new suite of paintings. Inspired by a multitude of sources, including historical photographs, urban-planning grids, modernism, and graffiti, these semiabstract works explore the intersections of power, history, dystopia, and the built environment and their impact on the formation of personal and transcommunal identities.

Utopia Matters: From Brotherhoods to Bauhaus
January 22–April 11, 2010
Utopia Matters: From Brotherhoods to Bauhaus will examine a sequence of international case studies from the early nineteenth century through 1933, when the Bauhaus closed in Berlin and the ascendancy of Fascism and Stalinism curbed or negatively reframed artistic endeavors, and investigate the evolution of utopian ideas in modern Western artistic thought and practice.
