Talk:Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation

Chronology
Could someone please append "built in 19XX" next to each museum where they're listed? Since the firs on e is so old and the last ones are so recent they don't have articles, I think that would be of interest.Jules LT 09:58, 21 August 2005 (UTC)bumb

Benjamin Guggenheim???
Peggy is mentioned as being Solomon's niece. How is he related to Peggy's father Benjamin? Were they brothers?Ragemanchoo 05:28, 10 September, 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragemanchoo (talk • contribs) 12:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Irrelevant/outdated information?
What is the explanation for this deletion? What makes the information irrelevant and outdated? Please provide a reason and hopefully some kind of reference before deleting it again. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:06, 29 November 2011 (UTC)


 * These materials have now been incorporated into the article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Article improvement
I intend to improve the content of the article, and have worked on the Lead today. I have contacted User:ssilvers and asked if he would mentor me and other users on the staff of the Foundation in adding properly referenced information to the article. Over the next few months, we will be reviewing all of the information in the article to update it and add more references. -- Rrothberg (talk) 19:11, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I have met with Rrothberg and agreed to assist and advise the museum staff in expanding and improving the article. I made new changes to the article and intend to continue next week.  All contributions and corrections are welcome and will be much appreciated.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Deaccessioning and the Panza Collection
Brilliant work on expanding this article.

I thought it looked odd to see the announcement that Krens expanded the Guggenheim by acquiring works in the Panza Collection, but then no mention of the deaccessioning controversy until some 3 paragraphs later, as if they were separate events. But then I looked at Thomas Krens and saw that my main source for this, Kimmelman (1990), was missing! So I fixed it. Now, see:

Also, already cited: Glueck, Grace. "Guggenheim May Sell Artworks to Pay for a Major New Collection", The New York Times, March 5, 1990.

The article should be changed to say that the Guggenheim sold off Kandinskys, Chagalls and Modiglianis in order to get the $47 million they needed to buy the Panza works, and drew harsh criticism as a result. Krens defended this as consistent with the museum's principles, while his critics had strong reservations about trading earlier masters for "trendy" latecomers. It's misleading to present the expansion and deaccessioning as having no connection. I haven't checked, but Hilton Kramer must have had something scathing about it to say at the time, and he was surely the dean of Guggenheim critics.

Still, excellent work by Ssilvers. Bravo. Carry on. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:34, 10 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. See what you think.  Any interest in putting up an article on Thomas M. Messer?  I'm going to do one on the current director, but we could use a short article on Messer. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * My to do list keeps growing and growing, and I keep adding things to the top instead of the bottom. But then again, why not? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:26, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * "Like". -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi ssilvers, Hi Dennis. I'm Mikayla, I work at the Guggenheim. I am new to Wikipedia so I thought I'd take a minute to formally introduce myself here and let you know that I'd like to work with you both on sprucing up this page and our museum page as well. I recently completed a Wiki training and will start to add more updated content in the coming weeks. Looking forward to working together. Mlynch345 (talk) 21:57, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Lead
There is inconsistency about locations of cities. Venice is said to be in Italy and Bilbao in Spain, but New York, Berlin and Abu Dhabi aren't anywhere, it appears. We should either add "US", "Germany" and "United Arab Emirates" (or "UAE") or alternatively lose the "Italy" and "Spain". The blue-linking of the locations is also inconsistent. Tim riley (talk) 08:29, 17 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I added "United Arab Emirates", moved Berlin out of the Lead (since it closed) but added "Germany" below.  I don't think we need US, as Wikipedia assumes that every English speaker knows where NY and London are. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:00, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Karol Vail
Please note that someone started an article about the new Director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, who is also Peggy Guggenheim's granddaughter, Karole Vail. You can contribute to the discussion here: Articles for deletion/Karol Vail. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:34, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
