One of New York’s most famous and iconic structures, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum collects, preserves, and interprets modern and contemporary art.

In 1943, Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to design a building to house the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which had been established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1939. In a letter dated June 1, 1943, Hilla Rebay, the curator of the foundation and director of the museum, instructed Wright, “I want a temple of spirit, a monument.”

Our work for the Guggenheim includes work on their climate-controlled storage facility.
