"A key sequence takes place in and around the famed Guggenheim Museum in New York City. At the time of principal photography, the building was undergoing a major renovation. The exterior of the building was entirely covered with scaffolding and tarpaulin, which was obviously quite a problem for the team -- no one wanted to see building construction on-screen. It meant that UPP had to recreate digitally one of most revered architectural landmarks in the world... Most of the sequence was shot on a soundstage in which the upper part of the museum's spiral atrium was recreated. This allowed the team to create all the mayhem that the sequence necessitated...."

The result, the iconic Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, utilized stunning innovation in form and Wright s concept of organic architecture to radically transform the museum experience. It has often been said that the greatest work in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum is the building itself. What makes the Guggenheim an architectural and cultural icon? How did Wright conceive of and develop his ideas for the building's coiling ramp and magnificent rotunda? And how does it continue to challenge our collective understanding of art museums even into the 21st century? Neil Levine, world-renowned architectural historian and professor at Harvard University, takes us on an engaging and personal tour of the building and its history. The tour is fun, provocative, and will leave you with a clear understanding of how 'The Guggenheim' has forever changed our assumptions of what an art museum can be." (Back cover.)

A Feature of the Exhibition: 60 Years of Living Architecture At The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. New York. November 1953. (Signed) (Soft Cover) (Published by The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

A pamphlet describing the Usonian House that was built on the grounds of the Future Guggenheim Museum as part of the exhibition: Sixty Years of Living Architecture. "To say the original of this Usonian house, planted by myself on the good earth of the Chicago prairie as early as 1900 or earlier, was the first truly democratic expression in Architecture of our Democracy would start a controversy with professional addicts who believe Architecture has no political (therefore no social) significance. So, let's say that the Spirit of Democracy - freedom of the common man to grow to be an individual - took hold of the house as it then was, took off the attic and the porch, pulled out the basement, and made a single spacious, harmonious unit of living room, dining room and kitchen, with appropriate entry conveniences...

Publisher's description: "Originally, Solomon R. Guggenheim donated works from his collection to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which he began in 1937 to support and promote non-objective art. Then, in 1939, he established the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which was renamed the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1952, and its signature Frank Lloyd Wright building opened on New York's Fifth Avenue in 1959. Over time, the Guggenheim has expanded the type of art that it exhibits and collects through the addition of other great collections-notably, those of Karl Nierendorf, Peggy Guggenheim, Justin and Hilde Thannhauser, and Giuseppe Panza di Biumo-as well as through opportunities that resulted from the institution's increasingly international focus in more recent decades. The Guggenheim today encompasses venues on two continents: the museum in New York, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin and the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in Las Vegas. This volume is published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the Kunst-und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Bonn, and the Kunstmuseum Bonn.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Iconoclastic Masterpiece (Hard Cover) (Published by Yale University Press, New Haven and London) Author: Dal Co, Francesco Description: "The captivating tale of the plans and personalities behind one of New York City's most radical and recognizable buildings. Considered the crowning achievement of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan is often called iconic. But it is in fact iconoclastic, standing in stark contrast to the surrounding metropolis and setting a new standard for the postwar art museum. Commissioned to design the building in 1943 by the museum's founding curator, Baroness Hilla von Rebay, Wright established residence in the Plaza Hotel in order to oversee the project. Over the next 17 years, Wright continuously clashed with his clients over the cost and the design, a conflict that extended to the city of New York and its cultural establishment. Against all odds, Wright held fast to his radical design concept of an inverted ziggurat and spiraling ramp, built with a continuous beam" a shape recalling the form of an hourglass. Construction was only completed in 1959, six months after Wright's death. The building's initial critical response ultimately gave way to near-universal admiration, as it came to be seen as an architectural masterpiece. This essential text, offering a behind-the-scenes story of the Guggenheim along with a careful reading of its architecture, is beautifully illustrated with more than 150 images, including plans, drawings, and rare photographs of the building under construction."

Guggenheim, asking the architect to design a new building to house Guggenheim's four-year-old Museum of Non-Objective Painting. On October 22, 1953, Sixty Years of Living Architecture: The Work of Frank Lloyd Wright opened in New York on the site where the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum would eventually be built.

"It took over 15 years, 700 sketches and six sets of working drawings before the Solomon R. Guggenheim could open it's doors for the first time. The museum opened on October 21, 1959... A museum should be one extended well-proportioned floor space from bottom to top - going around and up and down, throughout. The eye encounters no abrupt change but is gently led as if at the edge of the shore watching an unbreaking wave. No stops anywhere and such screened divisions of the space gloriously lit within from above as would deal appropriately with every group of paintings or individual paintings as you want them classified."

Description: Jester graduated from Yale in 1924. He moved to Paris for five years to study sculpting, and met Wright's sister Maginel at an American Embassy Fourth of July party. After moving back to New York, he met Wright will they were both visiting Maginel. His first involvement with Hollywood was as a sculpture for the movie Cleopatra (1934). He was probably best known for his costume designs for such movies as The Ten Commandments (1956) and The Buccaneer (1958). Wright designed the home in 1938, but construction costs forced Jester to forgo building the home. The design was revived for Gerald Loeb "Hilltop House" (project) in 1946. Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer later constructed the home next to Taliesin West in 1971. This model was exhibited in 1943 at the exhibition "Masters of Four Arts", Fogg Museum of Art, and named the "Pacific House". This model appeared in the background of the 1940 photograph of Wright with the Wingspread model at Taliesin in 1940 (Show to End all Shows, page 39), and is photographed at the show (page 52), but does not appear on the list of models displayed at the 1940 show at MOMA, or the Catalogue of the Exhibition in November (pages 215-228) Size: Faded 4.5 x3.25 sepia tone photograph S#: 0987.53.0813     Date: 1953 Title: 6) #83: George Affleck Residence Model (1940 - S.274), Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

New York - A museum built round and round like a cork-screw opens here today to the public.        The only major contribution to the looks of this metropolis by the late pioneering architect Frank Lloyd Wright, it is the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, on 5th Avenue between 88th and 89th Streets.        Outside, it looks like a giant toasted popover. The diameter at the summit is 128 feet and only 100 feet at the base.        Inside a ribbon of wall and inclined floor circles upward from the main central court, with pictures hung only on the outside wall. Stand on the ground floor and look up and you see a great expanding bowl rising in soft white spiraling stripes to a glass dome.        The ramp's floor rises at a 3 per cent grade.        The daring design represents a radical break with traditional structures in Europe as well as in this country. Though the building occupies only a corner of a city block, the display ramp is more than a quarter mile long.        For the show for today's first visitors (admission 50 cents) Director James Johnson Sweeney chose 134 pieces from the works of 75 painters and sculptors.        The building in theory accommodates 1,500 spectators. They view the show from a ramp wide enough to let them stand back for the necessary perspective.        Paintings are fastened in place by brackets which will spare the walls the damage they suffer in the usual museum's frequently renewed installations.        In the less unconventional office building at the northern end of the plot, there are library, print room and director's quarters. A courtyard is reserved for cars and trucks.        ...of health, education and welfare, headed a list of dedication speakers that included Mayor Robert F.

By 1942, however, when Wright was commissioned to design a home for Solomon R. Guggenheim's impressive collection of modern art, the architect's delight in horizontal forms had given way to a fascination with spirals. The result was the Guggenheim Museum in New York, a building that continues to trigger awe, frustration and controversy more than 30 years after it first opened its doors."

No Beginning, No End. Description: Set of 29 photographs. Frank Lloyd Wright was first approached in June 1943 to design the Guggenheim Museum. He immediately began conceptual drawings, but it would take over two years to approve the final drawings. On September 20, 1945 the model of the Guggenheim Museum was unveiled. From October 22 - December 13, 1953, the Guggenheim hosted the exhibit "Sixty Years of Living Architecture." Wright designed, and Guggenheim built the Usonian Exhibition House on the site of the Guggenheim Museum. On May 4, 1956 Harry Guggenheim announced the beginning of construction, and Ground was finally broken on August 14, 1956. The Guggenheim Museum opened to the public on October 21, 1959, six months after Wright's death. This set of 29 images were taken in March 2010, on a trip to New York City.
