グッゲンハイム美術館のインスタグラム(guggenheim) - 3月29日 00時15分

Did you know there is a hidden mural by #JoanMir permanently installed in the rotunda of our Frank Lloyd Wright building? "Alicia" (1965–67) is comprised of 190 separate ceramic tiles and is obscured by the first wall encountered as one ascends the museum's spiral ramp. Thomas M. Messer, the Guggenheim Museum's director from 1961 to 1988, contacted Miró in 1963 following the proposal of Harry F. Guggenheim, then president of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, to commission an appropriate memorial to Guggenheim's wife, Alicia Patterson Guggenheim, who died that year at the age of 56. Miró undertook the project with enthusiasm, writing to Messer in August of 1966 and noting the significance he ascribes to the firing process in the completion of his ceramic works: "I am delighted to tell you that the great mural has already been started. I am very hopeful about the results of this first stage. Let's hope that our great friend Fire will also bring us his richness and his beauty for the next steps." #SecretsMW
