The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on Fifth Avenue in New York opened in 1959. The building's namesake had died ten years earlier and its architect Frank Lloyd Wright had passed away six months prior to its opening. This is the only museum he designed and although it has had critics, its influence on architects (and photographers) cannot be over-estimated.
I'm grateful for the the coincidence of the only two visible patrons both looking and facing to the left, one continuing the other's interest across the void and out of the frame.
