Guggenheim among 31 Upper East Side buildings tied to Legionella outbreak

NYC health officials identified 31 Upper East Side buildings with Legionella bacteria in cooling towers, including the Guggenheim, and ordered deep cleaning for 12 more after 18 others had already remedied tainted towers.

Exploring the Visibility Trap: Artists Go Dark at the Guggenheim

The Guggenheim Museum's exhibition "Going Dark: The Contemporary Figure at the Edge of Visibility" features the work of 28 artists exploring questions of visibility and perception, particularly for people of color. The show raises urgent inquiries about the experience of being hyper-visible and subject to increased surveillance while simultaneously being erased from the social and political landscape. Through various mediums, the artists challenge stereotypes, distortions, and misunderstandings, offering a counterpoint to the art world's focus on Black portraiture. The exhibition engages with themes of race, identity, and the role of photography in classifying and criminalizing people of color. It also includes site-specific installations that explore the hypervisibility and surveillance experienced in museums.

"Hidden Dog Discovered in Famous Picasso Painting"

Conservators at the Guggenheim Museum in New York have discovered a small dog hidden beneath the painted surface of a Pablo Picasso painting, 'Le Moulin de la Galette,' using X-ray technology. The dog, which sports a red bow, was covered up by a patch of dark paint on the canvas. The painting is the centerpiece of the Guggenheim's current 'Young Picasso in Paris' exhibit, which showcases 10 paintings and drawings done by the Spanish artist upon his arrival in the French capital in 1900. The study also revealed other changes that Picasso made to the work, including swapping the genders of a dancing couple and painting over an empty chair.

"Hidden Dog Uncovered in Early Picasso Masterpiece"

Conservators at the Guggenheim Museum in New York have uncovered a small dog hidden beneath the surface of a Pablo Picasso painting, "Le Moulin de la Galette," during a technical analysis of the Spanish artist's early works. The dog, which bears a close resemblance to a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, was covered up by a swath of dark paint, but conservators were able to generate an image of what it originally looked like using X-ray fluorescence. The painting is now considered one of the earliest examples of Picasso's practice of modifying his compositions.
