New York | Tour of Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers at Guggenheim New York

April, 2025
Guggenheim New York

Join Frieze 91 for a guided walkthrough of Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. This landmark solo exhibition brings together nearly 90 works spanning painting, sculpture, film, and installation, showcasing Johnson’s dynamic engagement with history, philosophy, literature, and music.

Among the exhibition’s standout elements is Sanguine, a monumental site-specific installation on the museum’s top ramp, featuring an embedded piano designed for live performances. The show also includes a sculptural stage at the rotunda’s center, which will be activated through a dynamic series of programs throughout its run. Organized by the Guggenheim’s Deputy Director and Chief Curator Naomi Beckwith, this presentation solidifies Johnson’s position as a leading voice in contemporary art.

This one-hour tour includes museum admission, allowing guests to explore the rest of the Guggenheim’s galleries at their own pace after the walkthrough.
