Happy Birthday Frank #architecture #architect #franklloydwright #happybirthday #birthday #bday #152 #frank_lloyd_wright #wright #flw #taliesin #newyork #nyc #manhattan #guggenheim #soloman_r_guggenheim #art #museum #concrete #atrium #spiral #ramp #fori415_series_flw_guggenheim_bday Frank Lloyd Wright's “temple of the spirit” created for American businessman and avid art collector Solomon R. Guggenheim on the Upper East Side of Central Park in Manhattan. The building, designed to house Guggenheim’s growing collection of modernist and avant-garde art, was formally designated the “Museum of Non-Objective Painting”. Wright was chosen by artist, advisor to Guggenheim, and director of the museum Hilla von Rebay. Never a conformist, Wright’s design was controversial from the start, breaking away from the Beaux-arts or International styles used for all other art exhibition spaces of the era. Instead, he chose to curl the long walls needed to hang art around in an upward spiral, growing wider with each revolution and level. The center of the spiral was conceived as a glass enclosed atrium letting in abundant natural light. The exterior echos this idea, and directly telegraphs the interior spiral form. His intent was to shuttle visitors to the top floor via elevators, allowing them to stroll down the gently spiraling ramp of art lined walls to atrium floor. The characteristic spiraling view into continuous gallery space across the atrium is emphasized by a low, and for many vertigo inducing, sloped railing wall. Executed almost entirely in steel reinforced concrete, the sloping walls and floors present challenges for the display of wall-hung art. Display of large-scale pieces is also limited by wall curvature and low ceiling heights. Display of sculpture within the gallery fares somewhat better. Critics of the day derided the building, claiming that Wright’s design imposed itself on the art it was supposed to emphasize, and was modernist eyesore to NYC itself. Interesting to see how the museum has become a modernist icon of Manhattan in the intervening 60 years since it opened - due in large part to the building design.
