Permanent Collections – Included with CityPASS
The permanent collection of the Guggenheim Foundation embodies the institution’s distinctive history. The selected art has spotlighted 20th and 21st century artists, and helped cement their reputations.
The Guggenheim collection is essentially the story of several very different private collections that have been brought together. Augmented through numerous acquisitions by Foundation directors, curators, and international partners, these varied collections form one unique global collection that reflects modern and contemporary of art from the mid-19th century through the present.

The paintings in this exhibition were produced as the 15th commission of Deutsche Bank and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Inspired in part by Berlin, the city in which Mehretu created the works, the paintings evoke the psychogeography of a place and the effects of the built environment on individuals, while at the same time contemplating the past and the surviving traces of lived history.
