the 1960s and 1970s. Mann
first joined the Guggenheim in 2001, and has held various positions at the

and other Guggenheim publications. Exhibitions to which Mann contributed
include: The Shapes of Space (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 2007); Passages:
Beuys, Darboven, Kiefer, Richter (Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, 2006–07); and Singular
