所罗门·R·古根海姆基金会成立于1937年，其首个位于纽约的艺术展览场所，非客观绘画博物馆，于1939年开放。通过所罗门·古根海姆的有些古怪的艺术收藏展览，由基金会的策展人兼博物馆馆长希拉·雷贝委托威廉·穆森海姆设计的这个不寻常的画廊为许多游客提供了与瓦西里·康定斯基等伟大艺术家的作品首次相遇的机会，以及他的追随者的作品，包括鲁道夫·鲍尔、爱丽丝·梅森、奥托·内贝尔和罗尔夫·斯卡雷特的作品。早在1940年代初期，就已经明显需要一个永久性建筑来展示古根海姆的艺术收藏品，1943年，著名建筑师弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特获得了在纽约设计博物馆的委托。所罗门·R·古根海姆博物馆于1959年10月21日开幕。
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation was founded in 1937, and its first New York–based venue for the display of art, the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, opened in 1939. With its exhibitions of Solomon Guggenheim’s somewhat eccentric art collection, the unusual gallery—designed by William Muschenheim at the behest of Hilla Rebay, the foundation’s curator and the museum’s director—provided many visitors with their first encounter with great works by Vasily Kandinsky, as well as works by his followers, including Rudolf Bauer, Alice Mason, Otto Nebel, and Rolph Scarlett. The need for a permanent building to house Guggenheim’s art collection became evident in the early 1940s, and in 1943 renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright gained the commission to design a museum in New York City. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum opened on October 21, 1959.
