Hilla von Rebay, born Hildegard Anna Augusta Elisabeth Barones Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, was a German-American painter who played a significant role in the art world during the early 20th century. She was one of the few female abstract painters of her time and contributed to the breakthrough of abstract art. Notably, she was the founder of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York, a significant institution in the world of modern and contemporary art.
Hilla von Rebay's Role in Shaping the Guggenheim Museum's Collection
Hilla von Rebay played a significant role in shaping the collection of the Guggenheim Museum. Between 1929 and 1938, she advised Irene and Solomon R. Guggenheim in building their collection of classical-modern works. This collection later became the basis of the Guggenheim Museum's collection, making it one of the most renowned museums for modern and contemporary art.
The Creation of the Iconic Guggenheim Museum
In 1943, Hilla von Rebay started the design of the current Guggenheim Museum with the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This collaboration resulted in the creation of one of the most iconic buildings in the world of art. The Guggenheim Museum, located at 1071 Fifth Avenue in New York, is a testament to their combined vision and creativity.
