In the summer of 2006, the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany will present one of its biggest and most ambitious exhibitions to date. A selection of nearly 200 of Modern and Contemporary masterpieces from the holdings of the Guggenheim Foundation will be on view. With five museum locations in New York, Venice, Italy, Bilbao, Spain, Berlin, Germany, and Las Vegas, the Guggenheim Foundation is the first truly global institution devoted to visual art.

The Guggenheim Museum is unique in its focus on the in-depth presentation of the œuvre of a select number of outstanding artists, among them Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Robert Delaunay, Constantin Brancusi, Piet Mondrian and Pablo Picasso. Representative displays of American post-war art from Abstract Expressionism (Mark Rothko), Pop Art (Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein) to Minimal and Postminimal Art (Carl Andre, Richard Serra, Robert Morris, Donald Judd, Bruce Nauman) bring the Collection into the late twentieth century.

A selection of works from 1990 to the present will be shown on the 1500 square metres of the ground floor of the Kunstmuseum Bonn . This extension of the exhibition serves to document the Guggenheim Foundation’s ongoing commitment to the support of contemporary art on an international level. Large-scale installations and series of works by artists as diverse as Matthew Barney, KaraWalker or Rachel Whiteread bring the narrative of the exhibition into our time, transforming this project into a unique collaboration of three different cultural institutions.
