古根海姆博物馆1929–30 At age sixty-six, the wealthy American industrialist Solomon R. Guggenheim begins to form a large collection of important modern paintings by artists such as Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Marc Chagall. He is guided in this pursuit by a young German artist and theorist, Hilla Rebay (born Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen). In July 1930, Rebay brings Guggenheim to Vasily Kandinsky's Dessau studio, and Guggenheim purchases several of the artist’s paintings and works on paper; he will eventually acquire more than 150 works by Kandinsky.5th Avenue and 88th Street

The collection of Western art includes paintings by such famous artists as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Matisse.

G: We’ve got two days. What would
you like to do tomorrow?
J: I’d like to visit some art galleries?
S: But John, the guide book says that
there are more than sixty galleries in
Manhattan!J: Well, let’s choose the ones that
appeal to us.
G: I want to visit the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. It has art from all over
the world- even some from China.J: Well, that sounds great, but it’s a
rather large gallery. What do you
suggest, Susan? Would you rather go
to a smaller gallery to begin with?
S: Yes, please John. I don’t like large
museums. I’d go to the Frick
Collection. That’s quite small and we
could go the Metropolitan Museum
after that.G: Well, how about this? Tomorrow we
go to the Frick in the morning and the
Metropolitan in the afternoon. The
Metropolitan stays open until 8:45 pm
on Fridays. So if you’ve had enough by
dinner time, Susan, you can go back to
the hotel. John and I can stay at the
museum till it closes.J: Sounds good to me.
S: It’s certainly a better arrangement.Part 2
G: Perhaps we could go to the Museum
of Modern Art on Saturday.
S: Oh no. It’s too big and crowded.
And it’s expensive.
J: Susan, would you rather do something
else on our second day?S: No, no. I’d like to see some art but not
too much and not too modern.
G: What’s the problem?
S: I’m not fond of modern art. A monkey
could paint better pictures than some of
those paintings. If it was up to me, I’d
get rid of all of them.J: Really? I don’t understand why you
dislike modern art so much. But you
know that modern art began with the
Impressionist, right?
S: I don’t know anything about the
impressionists.G: It’s just she doesn’t know enough about it, John. Let’s go to the Guggenheim. They’ve wonderful Impressionist paintings there.
J: I agree, but we shouldn’t miss the Whitney Museum of American Art. Would you mind, Susan, if we went there too?S: Not if we don’t stay too long.
J: Do you think we’ve time to go to the
Whitney first and then the
Guggenheim? They’re quite close
together.
G: Let’s try. Is that OK with you,
Susan?
SUSAN: Yes, I suppose so! (grudgingly).
