Mind’s Eye at the Guggenheim – Modern European Currents

September 8, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Event Series (See All)
Free

The Guggenheim New York celebrates the ideas, people, and art at the core of its mission by offering virtual and in-person Mind’s Eye programming for participants who are blind or have low vision. Join us for a tour of the current exhibition Collection in Focus | Modern European Currents.

Modern European Currents, featuring works from the Guggenheim’s collection by Natalia Goncharova, Vasily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and more, captures this pivotal moment of artistic innovation and exchange. Artists turned to spirituality, nature, and abstraction as ways to interpret modern life, while also drawing from folk art and global influences in search of deeper connections. This exhibition invites you to explore a transformative turning point—when artists redefined the role of art in society and paved the way for the rise of abstraction.

This month’s Mind’s Eye programming will be led by educator Ellen Edelman through verbal description and conversation. The virtual sessions will be accessible by web link or by dial-in phone number, depending on your preference.

The same program will be offered twice in person and twice virtually; please RSVP for only one session.

  • Monday, September 8, 2:00–4:00pm IN PERSON

  • Monday, September 15, 6:30–8:30pm VIRTUAL
  • Wednesday, September 17, 2:00–4:00pm VIRTUAL

Program Image Description
A large yellow cow with blue spots fills the center of this painting. The cow’s front hooves are extending toward the bottom right corner and her neck is angled upwards while her back legs and tail are elevated at the upper left corner, as if she’s leaping across the canvas. She is surrounded by an abstracted landscape with a blue mountain range at the top center, green foliage at the bottom left, and fields of red, purple, and orange where smaller red cows are grazing.
