International Abstraction and the Guggenheim New York

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, USA) presents Art of Another Kind: International Abstraction and the Guggenheim, 1949–1960. Comprising approximately 100 works by nearly 70 artists, the exhibition explores international trends in abstraction in the decade before the Guggenheim’s iconic Frank Lloyd Wright–designed building opened in October 1959, when vanguard artists working in the United States and Europe pioneered such influential art forms as Abstract Expressionism, Cobra, and Art Informel.

With works by Karel Appel, Louise Bourgeois, Alberto Burri, Eduardo Chillida, Lucio Fontana, Grace Hartigan, Asger Jorn, Yves Klein, Willem de Kooning, Georges Mathieu, Isamu Noguchi, Kenzo Okada, Jackson Pollock, Pierre Soulages, Antoni Tàpies, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Takeo Yamaguchi, and Zao Wou-Ki, among others, the exhibition considers the artistic developments of the post–World War II period and draws greater attention to lesser-known artists in the museum’s collection alongside those long since canonized.

Dates: from June 8 to September 12.
Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York. USA
Opening hours: from Sunday to Wednesday and Friday from 10am to 5.45pm. Saturday from 10am to 7.45pm.
