No other artist epitomizes the character of the Guggenheim quite like Vasily Kandinsky-his history is closely entwined with the history of the museum and his work has been collected in-depth for the museum's permanent collection since its founding. Presented to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum, this full-scale retrospective of Kandinsky's oeuvre is the first in the United States since 1985, when the Guggenheim completed its trio of groundbreaking exhibitions on the artist's life and work in Munich, Russia, and Paris.

Kandinsky is included in general admission and free to CityPass holders. For details please visit the Guggenheim Web site.
