THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO'S OWN COLLECTION


The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao's Own Collection is an independent entity
with works that complement and highlight the other Guggenheim collections. Today the museum's holdings include works by some of the foremost artists of the second half of the 20th century, such as Eduardo Chillida, Yves Klein, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, Antoni Tapies, and Andy Warhol, among others.

European and American art of recent decades also occupies a preeminent place within the collection, including works by major figures Christian Boltanski, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Enzo Cucchi, Gilbert and George, and Julian Schnabel. In the case of certain artists such as Anselm Kiefer, the collection includes a more comprehensive selection of works to provide a broader and deeper view of the artist's entire career. These in-depth collections make the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao a destination for scholars and public visitors who wish to study the oeuvre of particular artists who represent the second half of the 20th century. In addition, the museum has commissioned site-specific installations by contemporary artists-Francesco Clemente, Jenny Holzer, Sol LeWitt, and Richard Serra-which were designed to engage with the dynamic exhibition spaces in Frank Gehry's building.

The final pillar of Bilbao's permanent collection is the work of Modern and contemporary Basque and Spanish artists, including important figures such as Miquel Barcelo, Cristina Iglesias, Prudencio Irazabal, Juan Munoz, Txomin Badiola, Juan Luis Moraza, Javier Perez, Susana Solano, Francesc Torres, and Darfo Urzay.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao's own holdings together with the holdings of each one of the other Guggenheim Museums form the Permanent Collection of this new model of museum.
