A Conceptual Porfolio

Guggenheim Pictures is a limited edition conceptual portfolio comprised of five extraordinary and highly distinctive photographic works. Conceived as an exploration of our famed Frank Lloyd Wright building—now in its 50th year—each of the participating artists have a presence in the Guggenheim’s permanent collection.

Responding to the institution as a physical site or a social space, artists Slater Bradley, Tim Davis, Luisa Lambri, Anthony Lepore, and Matthew Pillsbury have created an unconventional and truly unforgettable portrait of the museum.
   
This extraordinary offer won’t last long, so don’t miss your opportunity to support the museum’s programming with the ultimate Guggenheim souvenir.
