Gabellini Sheppard

In the first series of exhibition designs conceived for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Gabellini Sheppard Associates created and facilitated the spatial environment of "German Reconfigured Painting," a survey of post-war German artists including work by Gerhart Richter, Sigmar Polke and Georg Baselitz. In order to view large scale paintings by these artists, Gabellini Sheppard Associates inserted a three-story wedge-shaped form within the center of the Rotunda which had the effect of slowing or increasing the natural centrifugal movement of the museum space.
