Originally, Solomon R. Guggenheim Donated Works From His Collection To The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, Which He Began In 1937 To Support And Promote Nonobjective Art. Then, In 1939, He Established The Museum Of Nonobjective Painting, Which Was Renamed The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum In 1952, And Its Signature Frank Lloyd Wright Building Opened On New York'S Fifth Avenue In 1959. Over Time, The Guggenheim Has Expanded The Type Of Art That It Exhibits And Collects Through The Addition Of Other Great Collectionsnotably, Those Of Karl Nierendorf, Peggy Guggenheim, Justin And Hilde Thannhauser, And Giuseppe Panza Di Biumoas Well As Through Opportunities That Resulted From The Institution'S Increasingly International Focus In More Recent Decades.
