Kandinsky 1911–1913
June
25, 2012–April 17, 2013
Perhaps more than any other 20th-century painter, Vasily Kandinsky has been closely linked to the history of the Guggenheim Museum. This intimate collection exhibition highlights paintings completed at the moment the artist transitioned toward complete abstraction and published his aesthetic treatise, On the Spiritual in Art (1911). Also featured are paintings by Robert Delaunay and Franz Marc, who were included in the landmark 1912 Der Blaue Reiter exhibition held at the Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser in Munich.

Thannhauser Collection
OngoingJustin K. Thannhauser was the son of renowned art dealer Heinrich Thannhauser, who founded the Galerie Moderne in Munich in 1909. From an early age, Thannhauser worked with his father, building an impressive program of exhibitions of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism and the art of the contemporary French and German avant-gardes. The Thannhausers’ commitment to promoting artistic progress paralleled the vision of Solomon R. Guggenheim. In recognition of this shared spirit, Justin Thannhauser ultimately bequested a significant portion of his art collection—including masterpieces by Cézanne, Gauguin, Manet, Monet, Picasso, Pissarro, Renoir, and van Gogh—which is on view in a dedicated gallery, to the Guggenheim Museum.
