In 2001, the Bohen Foundation, a private charitable organization
that commissions new works of art with an emphasis on film, video, and
new media, gave the Guggenheim its holdings of some 275 works by 45
artists, immeasurably expanding the museum’s collection of contemporary
art. Ranging from important photographic works by Hiroshi Sugimoto, Sam
Taylor-Wood, and Sophie Calle to room-sized installations incorporating large-scale video installations by Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Pierre Huyghe, and Willie Doherty,
the collection represents a vital and dynamic cross section of art at
the turn of the millennium. More
