Paintings from the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

This catalogue provides a snapshot of the Guggenheim collection in 1965. Under the museum's third director, Thomas M. Messer, the collection had grown past its original core of non-objective paintings to contain around 4,000 works from the late 19th-century to the present day. The catalogue includes 84 color and black-and-white reproductions of significant works in the exhibition, arranged chronologically to illustrate the scope of the collection at this turning point in the Guggenheim Museum's history.
