 Hilla Rebay and Solomon R. Guggenheim
May 13 to August 10, 2006
Following its presentation in New York, Murnau and Munich, Art of Tomorrow: Hilla Rebay and Solomon R. Guggenheim, the first exhibition dedicated to the entire career of Hilla Rebay, opens at the Deutsche Guggenheim. In 1939, the German-born artist Hilla Rebay (1890–1967) was a cofounder of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum—originally named the Museum of Non-Objective Painting— as well as its first curator and director.
The exhibition comprises a significant selection of Rebay’s works on paper and non-objective paintings and includes the formal portrait of Solomon R. Guggenheim (1861–1949) that first brought the artist and the patron together. Also included are key works by colleagues including Hans Arp, Rudolf Bauer, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Fernand Léger, László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Nebel, Ben Nicholson, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, and Kurt Schwitters. Such works were acquired by Rebay and Guggenheim between 1929 and 1939 and shown in Art of Tomorrow, the first landmark exhibition of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting in New York in 1939.
Art of Tomorrow was organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in collaboration with the Museum Villa Stuck, Munich and the Schlossmuseum Murnau. The presentation of this exhibition in Berlin, New York and Murnau has been sponsored by Deutsche Bank. Special thanks to The Hilla Rebay Foundation for its assistance in the realization of this exhibition.
