Muzej Gugenhajm proslavio je pedeset godina postojanja organizovanjem nekoliko velikih retrospektivnih izložbi tokom 2009. godine. Jedna od njih bila je posvećena Kandinskom, umetniku čije su slike činile osnovu umetničkog korpusa budućeg njujorškog muzeja. Izložba je trajala do 13. januara ove godine, a nama su za utehu ostali neki zanimljivi linkovi.

Citat:Kandinsky, a full-scale retrospective of Vasily Kandinsky, was especially popular with visitors, who made it the best-attended show since Frank Gehry: Architect in 2001. In particular, the week after Christmas, from December 27 to January 2, saw 45,150 visitors, the busiest week since the museum began recording attendance figures in 1992.

Kandinsky was a central figure in the history and genesis of the Guggenheim Museum, and this landmark exhibition fittingly coincides with the museum’s 50th anniversary year. The museum’s founder, Solomon R. Guggenheim, started acquiring works by Kandinsky in 1929 upon the counsel of Hilla Rebay, who was to become the museum’s first director and who advocated collecting works by Kandinsky in all mediums and from all periods. Guggenheim paid an historic visit to the artist’s studio at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany, in 1930, and over the course of his lifetime ultimately purchased more than 150 Kandinsky paintings .
