Description


Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the cylindrical museum building, wider at the top than the bottom, was conceived as a "temple of the spirit" and is one of the 20th century's most important architectural landmarks. The building opened on October 21, 1959, replacing rented spaces used by the museum since its founding. Its unique ramp gallery extends from just under the skylight in the ceiling in a long, continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building until it reaches the ground level. The building underwent extensive expansion and renovations from 1992 to 1993 (when an adjoining tower was built) and from 2005 to 2008 Il caratteristico edificio, ultimo grande lavoro di Wright, catturò subito l'attenzione dei critici architettonici, ed è ancora mondialmente riconosciuto come uno dei capolavori dell'architettura contemporanea. Dalla strada, l'edificio assomiglia a un nastro bianco che si avvolge attorno a un cilindro più ampio in cima che alla base. Il suo aspetto è in forte contrasto con i più caratteristici grattacieli di Manhattan che lo circondano, fatto molto gradito a Wright, che dichiarò che il suo museo avrebbe fatto sembrare il vicino Metropolitan Museum of Art "simile a una baracca Protestante". All'interno, la galleria espositiva forma una dolce spirale che sale dal piano terra fino alla cima dell'edificio. I dipinti sono esposti lungo i muri della spirale e in alcune stanze che si trovano lungo il percorso. La maggior parte di coloro che criticano l'edificio si concentrano sul fatto che questo oscura le opere esposte al suo interno e che è particolarmente difficile appendere le opere lungo i muri né piatti né verticali della spirale, non sufficientemente illuminata dalla grande vetrata centrale.
