There was a specific gallery where my sister who has never taken an art class can paint better than. The mutilated breasts and other body parts were disgusting and should not be called art. If you are a Kandinsky fan, you will enjoy, otherwise, you will not.

The Guggenheim is the most popular exhibition in New York City with around 1.5 million people coming every year. That demonstrates the love of this Museum and all that it offers people, globally. This was the highlight of my first trip to New York, something I'd been looking forward to for some time. Located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, across from Central Park, it is the home for a breadth of collections including Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art. The artists featured during our visit were Vasily Kandinsky and Cecilia Vicuna. But we were fortunate to view works from other greats of our past - Picasso, van Gogh, Hesse, Monet, Cezanne, Manet, Renoir, Toulouse-Leutrec, Gauguin, Gomes, Pissarro, and more. Most striking of all is the architecture which mesmerises you from the outset. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this cylindrical building, which grows wider at the top than the bottom, captures your height both externally and internally. The unique ramp allows you to roam up (or down - recommend you start at the top via elevator and work your way down) in one continuous spiral walkway which takes you to the top where a stunning ceiling skylight illuminates the building. The stark white allows the art work to 'pop' and showcase itself. There are several rooms that break away from the main rotunda and this is where I found the beautiful textural work of Eva Hesse. Absolutely captivating. Interestingly, the day I visited the Guggenheim in New York my daughter was visiting the sister museum in Bilbao in Spain. There are two museum stores in the building, one obviously you have to go through to exit. The other is on the 3rd floor (I think). There is also a cafe called Cafe Rebay which you can purchase food and refreshments and has a lovely view of Central Park. There is no cost to visit the Museum. And as at July 2022, you had to wear a face mask due to Covid-19. There were no queues at 2pm on a Wednesday and the place was reasonably busy but you never felt crowded or unable to take a photo without people in it. Plenty of toilets available. Staff are always helpful. Disabled access is very good. Highly recommend a visit here to fill your creative cup.
