My first visit to the new Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, at fifth Avenue and 88th St., was on the night of one of the gala previews that preceded its opening last October. Everything was glamour that night. The corrugated mass of the building was a complex of light and deep shadow. It's roundness - that great rarity in New York - was emphasized by the curving segments of light pouring up from within, pouring through the glass atop the ninety-two-foot-high dome and the spiral... Perhaps, at the Guggenheim, modern art may eventually regain some of the central pre-eminence now usurped there by Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture." Original cover price 50c.  (Sweeney 1445)
