The Guggenheim's collection is one of the world's great repositories of modern art, and this Collection in Focus presentation distills its European currents into a tightly curated showcase of the movements and masters that shaped modernism. Seeing these works spiral up Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic rotunda is a singular New York art experience — intimate, illuminating and beautifully staged. For anyone who loves modern art or great architecture, it's an essential Upper East Side stop.
What to expect
