After seeing Eva Hesse’s Expanded Expansion exhibition, I walked through the rest of the Guggenheim. The permanent collection is always worth a visit, and I enjoyed seeing the Cecilia Vicuña and Vasily Kandinsky shows.
I hadn’t yet been to see the Kandinsky show, as I have seen a lot of his work in my day, and there is only so much time to see all the art I want to see. Below are a few of my favorites from Vasily Kandinsky: Around the Circle. Kandinsky’s work does look amazing at the Guggenheim, and I’m glad I saw the show.

I had not heard of Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuña, but I really enjoyed the show Cecilia Vicuña: Spin Spin Triangulene. Read this to learn more about her.

The galleries off the main Guggenheim circular path are never to be missed. Sensory Poetics: Collecting Abstraction is worth a trip in itself if only to see the Carlito Carvalhosa piece.

Carlito Carvalhosa unfortunately passed away in May of 2021. I adore his work, and it was a good reminder that I need to post about a beautiful show in Chelsea I saw of his work this past May. I need an assistant!

The Guggenheim never disappoints. I renewed my membership.
