Art, Architecture, and Innovation: Celebrating the Guggenheim Museum
Art, Architecture, and Innovation: Celebrating the Guggenheim Museum
documents Frank Lloyd Wright’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, whose
iconic spiral form presented a groundbreaking environment for the
exhibition of art when it opened in 1959. This 27-minute documentary
film explores the beginnings of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation;
chronicles the building’s conception, construction, and critical
reception; provides thoughtful analysis of Wright’s architecture; and
reflects on the museum’s significant presence in New York and the art
world through the 21st century.
Featuring archival footage of Frank Lloyd Wright, Solomon R.
Guggenheim, and Hilla Rebay, and interviews with Richard Armstrong,
Matthew Barney, Lisa Dennison, Frank Gehry, Ann Hamilton, Jenny Holzer,
Ellsworth Kelly, Thomas Krens, Brice Marden, Richard Meier, and Thomas
Messer, among others.
