Giacometti and Guggenheim

August 6, 2018, Lars and I visited the Guggenheim Museum in New York for the second time. Although the building is one of the top works by Frank Lloyd Wright, this museum is certainly not one of my favourites.
Our experience in 2013 corresponds to what Gert and Malgo wrote about the museum.
Beautiful building, moderate exhibitions that made poor use of the architecture of the building. Unfriendly staff and the worst for TE members: Photography prohibited !
But�.
A lot seems to have changed since then.
The building is still just as beautiful, but the spaces around the atrium were excellent used for the impressive Giacometti exhibition and the other exhibitions were also interesting. The staff was friendlier and most important for TE members: Photography allowed !

Three photos in this presentation that show the coexistence of art, building and public.
The order is from close to far. Maybe the 2nd photo is the most attractive but the order of zooming out was leading for the sequence.

■ Picture 2: ◄ Focal Length: 33 mm ►

Hello Rob,
It's nice to hear that this museum has improved in various ways. This time you were lucky to see an interesting exhibition. In all three photos you managed a combination of art, architecture and people in a perfect harmony. The main photo also has a very good balance between warm and cold tones. I like all three photos but the main one has the closest focus and most distinct composition.
Best regards,
Gert

Mooi ensemble van foto's, Rob.

De houding van de meeste musea tov foto's lijkt veranderd te zijn. Er was ook geen houden aan, door de massale en onvermijdelijke aanwezigheid van gsm's en smartphones.

Het blijft een beetje dubbel. Als fotograaf kan ik dat enkel toejuichen, tegelijkertijd stoor ik me soms aan de vele bezoekers en hun schermpjes waarmee ze overduidelijk oerslechte en veel te veel foto's staan te nemen. Je kan moeilijk pleiten voor een selectieve toelating, vrees ik, maar soms doet het nog eens deugd een museum te bezoeken waarin de mensen gewoon naar de kunstwerken kijken.

Tweede bemerking: als kunstliefhebber is het schandalig dat ik nog nooit in NY geraakt ben, ik weet het...

Groetjes & bedankt

Benny

Hi Rob,

You have captured well the concentration of the people at the museum. I like the paly between the ligted and shadowed area. There is a good contrast between the colours of the picture. Have a nice day.

hello Rob,
du beau travail, j'aime bien les trois photos qui permettent de bien situer l'architecture int駻ieure.
Le zoom permet d'isoler les visiteurs et cr馥 un bon graphisme
Amicalement

Hi Rob,it's nice to read that the things changes better inside this museum,now there something good and it's possible to take pics. And is't an honour to have shots from the exhibition of this italian artist ,one of the father of futurism,in 3 different focal lenghts made in the usual top quality and perfect to take a watch of the "curves" of museum architechtures,well done! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Rob ,
A piece of art from you ! Fantastic composition ; with great lines colors and contrasts .
Very well done .

Hallo Rob,
Een mooie combinatie van de slanke figuren van Giacometti en de toch heel wat plompere vormen van de bezoekers. Hun silhouetten steken mooi af tegen de warme achtergrond, die op zijn beurt weer een mooi contrast vormt met de witte omlijsting.

Hello Dear Rob,

I wonder if critiques of the museum on TE had been relayed to the staff at the museum! Negative feedback often has a positive effect!
Anyway, I like this series. I like how we move from the general to the more particular. The design of the interior of the museum works well for this trio of photographs.
I'm sure you went into the City of Liverpool Museum; did you find any similarities with this?

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

worldcitizen (16104) 2019-06-18 16:34

Hello Rob,
This is another nice trio from the Guggenheim. I personally like the 33 mm view the best. The main photo is also appealing, but in the WS we can see more of the curves. It was a good idea to take the same view from different focal lengths.

Bravo et amiti�

Hello Rob
All three photos are well framed with geometry and contrast adding to the visual appeal. The silhouetted figures of the visitors as well as the artifacts stand out against the back lit background. Very well observed and presented.
Cheers!

Bonjour, cher Rob,
Je reconnais que l'馘ifice abritant le mus馥 n'est pas commun avec ce jour d'escalier en spirale.
Les prises de vue sont une fois de plus une r騏ssite (qui s'en plaindrait ?) !
Merci pour ce partage appr馗i�.
Amiti駸

Hi Rob,
Excellent this view with these silhouettes of these visitors and these statues of Giacometti, interesting lines with the architecture of this museum, tfs.

jhm (211736) 2019-06-19 6:15

Dag Rob,

De dondere silhouetten op de oker gele wand zorgt voor een goed contrast.
Ieder museum heeft zijn eigen charme.
Ook deze foto heeft zijn eigen waarde.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Oost-Vlaanderen,
John

Hello Rob, How great that now the photos are allowed and we can see your splendid compositions. I do not remember that the staff was unfriendly. interesting idea to show a similar view but with different focal length. I had an idea to show in the Flame Towers in a different light. Beautiful all three pictures, difficult to choose what I like most. Nice silhouettes of the people and sculptures. The spiral structure of the museum works very well here.

Kind regards Malgo

gervaso (28177) 2019-06-21 14:05

Hello, Rob!

The silhouettes of the people against this orange wall look great, and I like this diagonal stripe showing the scene, a very nice framing you chose! Beautiful colors! Wonderful composition!

CLODO (45116) 2019-06-23 0:07

Hi Rob

Good idea to zoom back to let us discover the same scene !
Cheers

ChrisJ (171884) 2019-06-24 1:49

Hi Lars,

I like the silhouettes of the people and statues nicely sandwiched between the fg blue grey panels and the warm orange colour also adds a good warm cold colour contrast. Tfs!

jean113 (27893) 2019-06-24 13:06

Hello Rob,
all three shots are, as always, well composed, where you make good use of the distinctive lines of the architecture.
I particularly like Picture 2, where we see more people and more sculptures. The severe lines of Giacometti's work contrasting with the softer lines of real people.
I like the comparisons that we can make by your use of the different focal lengths.
Kind regards
Jean
