Guggenheim plans big Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit

The theme -- mirroring the revolutionary theme of Wright's 72-year career -- is that buildings should take their outward shape from the interior, a concept illustrated especially clearly in the spiraling Guggenheim.
"When it opened in October 1959, the museum drew both criticism and admiration," said Richard Armstrong, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim foundation and museum.
"But what was indisputable was that Wright had reinvented the art museum."
Wright died in 1959, just six months before the opening of the Guggenheim.
