“I want a temple of spirit, a monument!” Hilla R wrote to Frank Lloyd Wright in 1943, soliciting him to design a museum for the Guggenheim Foundation’s collection. A seventeen-year struggle ensued in which Solomon Guggenheim passed away, R stepped down as director, and James Sweeney took over, his antagonistic relationship to Wright delaying development further. Wright passed away on this day in 1959, six months before the Guggenheim opened its doors. “We wait… Meanwhile Life doesn’t. The Cosmos sweeps onward and upward while we crawl on the surface like flies on a transparent window pane,” he wrote to R in 1949, still ten years away from finishing the project.
