This classic work provides a historical overview of Frank Lloyd Wright's only museum. The publication details the architect's vision behind the unique organic architecture and the challenges of building the continuous, helical spiral ramp. Ben Raeburn was the publisher of Horizon Press, an independent press based in New York from 1951 to 1984. Raeburn owned Horizon Press, which was known through the mid-20th century for discovering authors in advance of their mass public appeal and publishing works by known authors with limited commercial appeal. The press was also known for "exquisite" book design. Horizon published books by Robert Olen Butler a decade in advance of his 1993 Pulitzer Prize. The press published Donald Newlove's nonfiction when other publishers would not. It became a bestseller. Horizon printed Frank Lloyd Wright's complete works and received Publishers Weekly's 1977 Carey-Thomas Award for publishing an autobiography of Wright. Other Horizon books include selections from Oriana Fallaci, Irving Howe, and Alfred Kazin. Raeburn sold the press in 1984 and it closed soon after. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, is an art museum at 1071 Fifth Avenue between 88th and 89th Streets on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It hosts a permanent collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art and also features special exhibitions throughout the year. It was established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1939 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, under the guidance of its first director, Hilla von Rebay. The museum adopted its current name in 1952, three years after the death of its founder Solomon R. Guggenheim. It continues to be operated and owned by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The museum's building, a landmark work of 20th-century architecture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, drew controversy for the unusual shape of its display spaces and took 15 years to design and build; it was completed in 1959. It consists of a six-story, bowl-shaped main gallery to the south, a four-story "monitor" to the north, and a ten-story annex to the northeast. A six-story helical ramp extends along the main gallery's perimeter, under a central ceiling skylight. The Thannhauser Collection is housed within the top three stories of the monitor, and there are additional galleries in the annex and a learning center in the basement. The museum building's design was controversial when it was completed but was widely praised afterward. In 1943, Rebay and Guggenheim wrote a letter to Frank Lloyd Wright asking him to design a structure to house and display the collection. Rebay thought the 76-year-old Wright was dead, but Guggenheim's wife Irene Rothschild Guggenheim knew better and suggested that Rebay contact him. Wright accepted the opportunity to experiment with his "organic" style in an urban setting, saying that he had never seen a museum that was "properly designed". He was hired to design the building in June 1943. He was to receive a 10 percent commission on the project, which was expected to cost at least $1 million. It took him 15 years, more than 700 sketches and six sets of working drawings to create and complete the museum, after a series of difficulties and delays; the cost eventually doubled from the initial estimate. Rebay envisioned a space that would facilitate a new way of seeing modern art. She wrote Wright that "each of these great masterpieces should be organized into space, and only you . would test the possibilities to do so. .
