Serving… something different. 🏸

With the US Open in full swing, "Soft Shuttlecock" (1995) takes center court.

Created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen specifically for the rotunda in conjunction with Oldenburg’s 1995 retrospective, the oversized sculpture transforms a familiar badminton object into something whimsical, pliant, and larger than life.

Referencing handmade shuttlecocks with real feathers, its massive scale reminds us that the museum can be a place for play, too.

For seventy years she turned obsession into infinity — the dots, the pumpkins, the mirrored rooms that dissolve the wall between a person and the universe.

Yayoi Kusama broke through frontiers no one had mapped, and she changed the history of avant-garde art along the way.

We are so grateful for Kusama's work, for her belief in love and peace, & for a relationship with the Guggenheim that spanned much of her life.

Significant works live on in our collections in New York, Bilbao, and Abu Dhabi, including her INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM — DANCING LIGHTS THAT FLEW UP TO THE UNIVERSE (2019) currently on view in "Guggenheim Pop: 1960–Now."

Our deepest condolences to her family, her friends, her colleagues, and to everyone who found something of themselves in her work.

In “Jingle Johnny Processional Stand Pink,” Baseera Khan transforms a museum catalogue image into a powerful reflection on history, identity, and the politics of collecting.

The work centers on a “Jingling Johnny,” an Ottoman-era percussion instrument once used in military bands. Enlarged from a museum storage photograph, the instrument's music is silenced. By holding the image like a protest sign, Khan reclaims its voice, turning an archival record into a critique of museum practices and the histories embedded within cultural objects.

This photograph is part of Khan's “Law of Antiquities” series, which examines questions of ownership, repatriation, and the handling of objects by museums today.

Explore the work on view in “Guggenheim Pop: 1960 to Now.”

♍️ Virgo energy: precise, thoughtful, and quietly intense.

Hilla Rebay’s "Composition I" (1915) is a dynamic study in bold color, shape, and emotion, brought into focus by a recurring curvilinear form that represents the strength of the artist’s emotions.

Vasily Kandinsky's "Blue Mountain" is back 🩵

His horse-and-rider motif symbolized his rejection of conventional aesthetic values and his vision of a more spiritual future through the transformative power of art. In "Blue Mountain," completed in 1909, the artist’s increasingly abstract and expressionistic style transforms the rider into a powerful symbol of spiritual renewal.

Discover Blue Mountain in the Thannhauser Gallery.
