The Guggenheim Examines 'Orphism in Paris'

This Friday marks the opening of a new major exhibition at the Guggenheim examining an artist movement that inspired the museum's own iconic building design. Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910–1930 displays over eighty pieces and examines an abstract form known as Orphism, pioneered in Paris in the early 20th century as artists moved away from Cubism. Curators Tracey Bashkoff and Vivien Greene tell us more about the significance of Orphism and the show, on view through Mar. 9.
