Guggenheim Celebrates Frank Lloyd Wright

The Guggenheim sent out a press release yesterday the size of The Fountainhead describing their upcoming Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward exhibition (opening in May and running through August). In celebration of the building's 50 year anniversary the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has helped them piece together the installation, which will present 64 projects designed by Wright, all displayed on the spiral ramps of the museum he designed. The CEO of the foundation says that, "Rather than a retrospective, this exhibition focuses on the diversity of Wright's vision and the ways he sought to realize it...The concept of the exhibition also reflects a growing recognition of the enormous relevance today of Frank Lloyd Wright's design philosophies, which embrace culture, technology and environment." Sad fact: Wright actually died six months prior to the grand opening of the Guggenheim.

If one was to drop a marble down the ramp at the top of the museum how far would it travel to get to the bottom?

Only one person on this blog would know the answer.

Actually the concept sucks. It leaves the visitor "short footed" by the time they reach the bottom.

Please, it was 6 pages! That's nothing.

It is when you print it on 1/4" plywood.
