Muzeum Guggenheima w Nowym Jorku to jedno z ostatnich wielkich dzieł Franka Lloyda Wrighta. Silny, bo kształt zwężającego się ku dołowi, ściętego stożka z pustką w środku to niezwykle mocna bryła, która dominuje nad przestrzenią Piątej Alei – jednej z najbardziej prestiżowych ulic świata. We wnętrzu wysoka na kilka kondygnacji pustka otwiera się na szklaną kopułę i niebo – im wyżej jesteśmy, tym jest więcej światła i przestrzeni. Wyrazisty, bo nie sposób przejść obok niego obojętnie, narzuca swoją kolistą, spiralną obecność nie tylko okolicy, nie tylko definiuje ruch widzów we wnętrzu, ale także mierzy się z dziełami sztuki, dla których ekspozycji został wzniesiony. Dla artysty wystawa w tym muzeum to wielki prestiż, ale też sprawdzian z jakości jego sztuki. Czy zniesie ona konfrontację z jedną z dwudziestowiecznych ikon? Zamiast pustej, neutralnej przestrzeni wystawowej, do której przyzwyczaiły nas muzea sztuki nowoczesnej tutaj przestrzeń ekspozycji jest – no właśnie – wyrazista, nie sposób się od niej odciąć, odseparować. Moje pierwsze wrażenie, kiedy wszedłem do tego słynnego na cały świat stożka to zachwyt. Jasna, biała przestrzeń, wszystkie krawędzie miękkie, wyoblone. Spirala wije się pod sufit w jednym miejscu lekko rozszerzając w okrągły balkonik, dzięki któremu zawsze wiemy, gdzie jesteśmy i ile kółek już zrobiliśmy. Od progu zupełnie zapomniałem, że poszedłem tam oglądać obrazy. Jakie obrazy? Budynek mówił tak głośno o sobie, o swoim twórcy, o możliwościach żelbetu, o świetle i przestrzeni, że żadne dzieła sztuk innych niż architektura nie mogły się z nim równać. Malarstwo, rzeźba, grafika i rysunek wydały mi się niepotrzebnymi do niczego umysłowymi łamigłówkami, podczas gdy to architektura w tym jednym budynku była w stanie uchwycić prawdę o świecie.

Il caratteristico edificio, ultimo grande lavoro di Wright, catturò subito lattenzione dei critici architettonici, ed è ancora mondialmente riconosciuto come uno dei capolavori dellarchitettura contemporanea. Dalla strada, ledificio assomiglia a un nastro bianco che si avvolge attorno a un cilindro più ampio in cima che alla base. Il suo aspetto è in forte contrasto con i più caratteristici grattacieli di Manhattan che lo circondano, fatto molto gradito a Wright, che dichiarò che il suo museo avrebbe fatto sembrare il vicino Metropolitan Museum of Art "simile a una baracca Protestante". Allinterno, la galleria espositiva forma una dolce spirale che sale dal piano terra fino alla cima delledificio. I dipinti sono esposti lungo i muri della spirale e in alcune stanze che si trovano lungo il percorso. La maggior parte di coloro che criticarono ledificio si concentrano sul fatto che questo oscurasse le opere esposte al suo interno e che è particolarmente difficile appendere le opere lungo i muri né piatti né verticali della spirale, non sufficientemente illuminata dalla grande vetrata centrale. Nel 1992 fu aggiunta alledificio una torre rettangolare, più alta della spirale originale, progettata dallo studio Gwathmey Siegel and Associates Architects. Ledificio era già divenuto unicona, al punto che questa aggiunta al progetto di Wright fu molto contestata. Da visitare assolutamente

For a prestigious museum which promotes progressionism and honors history, it is appalling to host an exhibition which depicts traumatized animals as art when it is in fact abuse. Lizards, pigs, dogs, theyre all living creatures. In reference to the dogs portrayed in particular, Ms. Peng, in utter ignorance, stated “Where is the soft spot in all of this? Were the dogs being abused? The answer should be no. These dogs are naturally pugnacious.” What do you expect frightened dogs, of any breed, to do when theyre strapped to a treadmill, face to face with another animal they dont know?! Weve come far enough as a society to stop stereotyping people and breeds of animals. Ever owned a pit bull, Ms. Peng? Until you have, it would be wise to spare humanity of your ignorance. I speak from experience, of course, as I, in fact, own one and grew up with them. Theyre just dogs. No matter the breed or the species, no animal deserves to be treated as an object. Tattoed pigs? Come on! This video may well have been filmed many years ago and all the poor animals involved are likely passed away, but it is a shameful thing for the Guggenheim Museum to bring back such a dreadful expression of "art." If the Guggenheim Museum chooses to go through with this horrendous exhibition, rest assured many people will never step foot through its doors again, myself included.

En 1959 el museo fue movido de un espacio rentado a su localización actual; también reconocido como una construcción representativa de la arquitectura del siglo XX. El edificio cilíndrico fue diseñado por Frank Lloyd Wright, más angosto en sus niveles inferiores que superiores, y concebido como un "templo del espíritu". El edificio cuenta con una rampa, que funde como galería, y se extiende a lo largo del edificio desde el nivel inferior, en una espiral continua en las orillas exteriores del edificio y termina justo por debajo del tragaluz del techo. El edificio fue sometido a una expansión y renovaciones en 1992, cuando una torre adicional fue construida, de 2005 a 2008.

I love museums and I love learning things. Another perk on living in NYC is all the great Museums. This is definitely one of them. The Guggenheim was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Its a one of a kind building in NYC and it really stands out. From the outside it looks like a building from the future. It was really ahead of its time. Once inside you would think that that it would be normal, but just as rounded as the outside is. The inside is as well. You walk into an open space and the entrance is to your left. You have the choice to use the elevator or walk up the winding staircase or ramps. So far I have been here twice. The first time was for the Maurizio Catellan Exhibit. Just the other day I saw the John Chamberlain Exhibit. Unlike Catellan, where his work was all hanging from the ceiling. Chamberlains work can be seen all along the sides of the Guggenheim. I do love how open the Guggenheim is. You have a great view of the works and you know where they are just by looking across. The museum isnt big, but does have some great works of art. F-R-E-E (well not really) on Saturdays between the hours of 5:45-7:45pm. It is pay as you wish. As it says, you can pay whatever you want to see the exhibits. Since its pay as you wish or practically FREE. Be prepared to wait in line or do come early. Real early!

Uno dei più bei musei che abbia mai visto. Dellesterno non lho apprezzato, ma dentro sembra di essere allinterno di una conchiglia, vuoi per il bianco color uovo dellarchitettura, quasi una madreperla, vuoi per la spirale che sale dolcemente collegando i vari piani. È inoltre un museo che non ti sovrasta con la quantità di opere, ma ne mostra il giusto numero per apprezzarle e non stancarsi. Possiede opere importanti, da Modigliani a Pollock. Consiglio di comperare il biglietto in anticipo, on line, assieme ad altri biglietti di musei e attrazioni, per evitare le code e risparmiare.

This is a limited-time-only mediocre review, but due to installation of new exhibits, the collection was VERY limited during my visit. They were giving a reduced entrance fee, so I knew I wouldnt be seeing the full collection. But still.... I was shocked that only about 15 or 20 works were displayed. TOTAL! Youre not told, on entering, just how limited the viewable collection is. I asked "is that all there is?" of three different guards (once I was finished), thats how incredulous I was that Id seen everything. Also, the audio guides were clunky, difficult to use. The guards were poorly trained, knew nothing about the audio guides or the collection and didnt seem to care about visitors. Even the restaurant was closed. I had $75 in cash coupons, good for the restaurant (thanks, Hilton Grand Vacations) and I assumed the very small cafe would accept them since the restaurant was closed. Nope. Bright spots....Gift shop is nice and there are lots of staff in the lobby to help... But I wasnt sure what there was to help with?!? The couple of works I did see were marvelous and I am anxious to go back on my next visit to NYC; just wish I hadnt wasted my time this time around.
