Vasily Kandinsky: Beginnings
Ongoing
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Due to the influence of Hilla Rebay, the Guggenheim's first director, who encouraged Solomon R. Guggenheim to begin collecting Kandinsky’s work in 1929, Vasily Kandinsky has been closely linked to the Guggenheim Foundation. Guggenheim met the artist for the first time at the Dessau Bauhaus in July 1930. This began a period of acquisition of paintings and watercolors by Kandinsky. This installation of the Kandinsky Gallery exhibits Kandinsky's early grasp of the graphic arts, as well as his translation of printmaking techniques to painting.
