DIGITAL NEST | Guggenheim Museum
By: Joy Anne Andres, Eagle News Service US, New York Bureau
One of the best things you can find doing on a rainy day in New York City is spending an hour or two in a museum. Although there are so many museums that can be found in the five boroughs, the Guggenheim Museum’s unique architectural structure proudly stands out in front of Central Park along 5th Avenue’s Museum Mile. And we must thank Solomon R. Guggenheim for commissioning Frank Lloyd Wright as the designer.
With this being my first time at the museum, I was stunned by the interior design. Every level seemed like a layer of cake. Various pieces of art filled the in-between spaces of those layers. And along them were people who also took the opportunity of spending a rainy day indoors.
As I began swirling up, I encountered a room filled with numerous pieces of an artist’s work. Vasily Kandinsky of Moscow literally had a whole room dedicated to him. I’m no art expert, but I guess Mr. Guggenheim really enjoyed his art. I know I sure did. I remember walking out of that museum appreciating Mr. Kandinsky’s style and technique.
My favorite piece would probably have to be Paul Klee’s Horizon, Zenith and Atmosphere. See it for yourself, because the Guggenheim is definitely a museum I wouldn’t mind going to again. Art connoisseur or not, bring a friend along with you to a museum and spend time enjoying pieces that people produced with their found passion.
