This book celebrates the Guggenheim from its inception to the present. In a highly informative essay, Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, Vice President and Director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, traces an odyssey that began in 1943 with a letter imploring Wright to build a "temple of spirit" for a small museum of non-objective paintings. The project endured delays and upsets for sixteen years before construction was completed in 1959, only months after Wright's death. After a major restoration and expansion project, completed in 1992, the architect's original vision has now truly been fulfilled. This beautiful volume also includes fascinating photographs taken during the museum's construction, a portfolio of photographs interpreting Wright's structure as a work of art, and images of exhibition installations within the newly restored building.

El 21 de marzo de 1980 se inauguraba en The Solomon R. Guggenheim de Nueva York la muestra colectiva New Images from Spain. Su comisaria, Margit Rowell, había visitado durante los dos años anteriores cerca de un centenar de estudios de jóvenes artistas a lo largo de la geografía española, entre los cuales escogió a una decena para organizar una exposición dedicada a nuestra escena artística. La selección final contaba con obras de Sergi Aguilar, Carmen Calvo, Teresa Gancedo, Antoni Muntadas/Germán Serrán Pagán, Miquel Navarro, Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Jordi Teixidor, Darío Villalba, Zush y José Luis Alexanco (presentes todos ellos en la Colección Josep Suñol), algunos de los cuales habían tenido la oportunidad de exponer previamente en la galería Vandrés de Fernando Vijande, con quien Josep Suñol estableció una de las relaciones entre coleccionismo y galerismo más interesantes del momento.
