Guggenheim Goes to GermanyIn the summer of 2006, the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany will present one of its biggest and most ambitious exhibitions to date ever.
A selection of nearly 250 Modern and Contemporary masterpieces of Classical Modernism and Contemporary art from the holdings of the Guggenheim Foundation, New York, will be on view.
With five museum locations in New York, Venice, Italy, Bilbao, Spain, Berlin, Germany, and Las Vegas, the Guggenheim Foundation is the first truly global institution devoted to visual art.
The Guggenheim Museum is unique in its focus on the in-depth presentation of the oeuvre of a select number of outstanding artists, among them Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Robert Delaunay, Constantin Brancusi, Piet Mondrian and Pablo Picasso.
Representative displays of American post-war art from Abstract Expressionism (Mark Rothko), Pop Art (Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein) to Minimal and Postminimal Art (Carl Andre, Richard Serra, Robert Morris, Donald Judd, Bruce Nauman) bring the collection into the late twentieth century.
Recent acquisitions illustrate the museum's ongoing commitment to ground-breaking contemporary works by artists as diverse as Nam Jun Paik, Jeff Koons, Matthew Barney, and Rachel Whiteread.
