Moving Pictures is drawn from the
Guggenheim Museum’s permanent
collection, which has been dramatically
augmented during the last decade
through alliances with the Guggenheim
Museum Bilbao and the Deutsche
Guggenheim Berlin, as well as through
major acquisitions and gifts, including
the Panza Collection of Minimal and
Conceptual art in the early 1990s, a gift
from the Mapplethorpe Foundation in
1993, which launched the museum’s
concentrated foray into photography,
and most recently a gift from the Bohen
Foundation collection in 2001. Also
featured are purchases and gifts made
by the Guggenheim’s acquisition groups,
including the International Director’s
Council, the Photography Committee, and
the young Collector’s Council. Many of
the works presented in the exhibition are
on view at the Guggenheim for the first
time.
