The Wall Street Journal's architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable reviews the Guggenheim's current exhibition Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward.
Curiously, the only meaningful gesture the installation makes to its dramatic setting is the view of the gorgeous curtain Wright designed for the Hillside Theater at Taliesin in 1952, glowing colorfully across the spiral, and the presentation of the Guggenheim Museum itself as the climax of the show. The display neither challenges nor exploits the building’s unique spatial possibilities. It would fit just as well into any set of conventional galleries.
