1971
66 x 32 ft
Guggenheim Museum-New York

The project was made site specific for this exact place in the Guggenheim museum. He created a 66 x 32 ft. canvas to divide the Guggenheim’s rotunda in New York. This was the piece that was protested and removed after one day because it obstructed the view to surrounding works. As the viewers went up the circular ramps, at times they would see a flat expanse of canvas, similar to a large painting. But as they continued around, the banner could also be experienced as a sculptural object.  It specifically addressed the museum’s imposing architecture and transformed the way it functioned.
