In 1943 Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to design “a monument” for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. After 6 separate sets of plans and a 16-year delay due to WWII and the death of Mr Guggenheim the museum was finally ready to open in 1959. This was 6 months after Frank Lloyd Wright himself passed away. The building was immediately recognized as an architectural gem and is by many thought to be the the most important building in Frank Lloyd Wright’s career.
