Museum of Non-Objective Painting 1948-1959


‪#‎TBT‬ This installation view from the Archives shows the Guggenheim's first site in 1948. Before our Frank Lloyd Wright-designed museum opened in 1959, the Guggenheim Museum was located on 24 East Fifty-Fourth Street, known as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting. Alongside exhibitions of work by Vasily Kandinsky, Rudolf Bauer, and others, the museum also held screenings of abstract films in 1940–41 as part of former museum director Hilla Rebay's effort to explore how abstraction could be employed beyond painting: http://gu.gg/Nyenq
