New York City The Guggenheim Museum has announced its 2010-2011 exhibition schedule as follows:

Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance - Through September 6
Much of contemporary photography and video seems haunted by the past, by ghostly apparitions that are reanimated in reproductive media, as well as in live performance and the virtual world. By using dated, passé, or quasi-extinct stylistic devices, subject matter, and technologies, this art embodies a melancholic longing for an otherwise unrecoverable past. Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance examines the myriad ways photographic imagery is incorporated into recent practice and in the process underscores the unique power of reproductive media while documenting a widespread contemporary obsession, both collective and individual, with accessing the past. The works included in the exhibition range from individual photographs and photographic series, to sculptures and paintings that incorporate photographic elements, and to videos, both on monitors and projected, as well as film, performance, and site-specific installations. Drawn primarily from the Guggenheim Museum collection, Haunted will feature recent acquisitions, many of which will be exhibited by the museum for the first time. Included in the show will be work by such artists as Marina Abramovic, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Sophie Calle, Tacita Dean, Stan Douglas, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roni Horn, Zoe Leonard, Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Jeff Wall, and Andy Warhol. A significant part of the exhibition will be dedicated to work created since 2001 by younger artists. This exhibition is curated by Jennifer Blessing, Curator of Photography, and Nat Trotman, Associate Curator.

The Deutsche Bank Series At The Guggenheim - Julie Mehretu: Grey Area - Through October
In this exhibition, acclaimed American artist Julie Mehretu will premiere in New York Grey Area, a new suite of paintings that she produced for the 15th project of Deutsche Guggenheim's commission program. Mehretu is celebrated for her large-scale paintings and drawings that layer abstract forms with familiar architectural imagery. Inspired by a multitude of sources, including historical photographs, urban-planning grids, modern art, and graffiti, these semiabstract works explore the intersections of power, history, dystopia, and the built environment along with their impact on the formation of personal and communal identities. This exhibition is organized by Joan Young, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art and Manager of Curatorial Affairs.

Chaos And Classicism: Art In France
Chaos and Classicism: Art in France, Italy, and Germany, 1918-1936 is the first exhibition in the United States to explore the classicizing aesthetic that followed the immense destruction of World War I. It will examine the interwar period in its key artistic manifestations: the poetic dream of antiquity in the Parisian avant-garde of Fernand Léger and Pablo Picasso; the politicized revival of the Roman Empire under Benito Mussolini by artists such as Giorgio de Chirico and Mario Sironi; and the functionalist utopianism at the Bauhaus as well as, chillingly, the pseudobiological classicism, or Aryanism, of nascent Nazi society. This presentation of the vast transformation in French, Italian, and German contemporary culture will encompass painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, film, fashion, and the decorative arts. This exhibition is curated by Kenneth E. Silver, guest curator and Professor of Modern Art, New York University, with Vivien Greene, Curator of 19th and early 20th-century art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; Karole Vail, Assistant Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; and Helen Hsu, Curatorial Assistant, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

The Hugo Boss Prize 2010 - Summer 2011

The Thannhauser Collection - On-Going Exhibition
The newly restored Thannhauser Gallery reopened to the public in 2008 with a selection of canvases, works on paper, and sculpture bequeathed to the museum by the important art dealer and collector Justin K. Thannhauser (1892-1976). Representing the earliest works in the museum's collection, the Thannhauser holdings include significant works by Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro, and Vincent van Gogh. Thannhauser's commitment to supporting the early careers of such artists as Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Franz Marc, and to educating the public about modern art, paralleled the vision of the Guggenheim Foundation's originator, Solomon R. Guggenheim. Among the works Thannhauser gave are such incomparable masterpieces as Van Gogh's "Mountains at Saint-Rémy" (Montagnes à Saint-Rémy, July 1889), Manet's "Before the Mirror" (Devant la glace, 1876), and close to 30 paintings and drawings by Picasso, including his seminal works "Le Moulin de la Galette" (autumn 1900) and "Woman Ironing" (La Repasseuse, spring 1904). This reinstallation of more than 30 works of the Thannhauser Collection offers visitors the opportunity to reacquaint themselves with some of the iconic images that comprise this celebrated collection.
