Instantly hailed as the most important structure of its time, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has celebrated more than a decade of extraordinary success. With over a hundred exhibitions and more than ten million visitors to its credit, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has changed the way people think about museums, and it continues to challenge assumptions about the connections between art, architecture, and collecting.

September 19, 2012–May 19, 2013
This exhibition examines art from the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in order to conceive of the occupation of space as a place full of existing narratives or narratives yet to be created. Selected works are on view for the first time, including Cristina Iglesias’s Untitled (Alabaster Room) (Sin título [Habitación de alabastro], 1993).
