THIRTEEN's NYC-ARTS Takes Viewers Inside the Guggenheim in April

NYC-ARTS, THIRTEEN's weekly arts and culture multi-platform showcase, brings arts lovers an all-access pass to the interesting, unusual and unique cultural offerings of New York City. This month, on April 27, the series brings viewers inside the new art exhibition "Visionaries: Creating a Modern Guggenheim" at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

The exhibition explores the avant-garde innovations in art of the late 19th through the mid-20th century, as well as the stories of the six major patrons who championed some of the most significant and groundbreaking artists of their day. Among the nearly 70 artists represented in the show are Alexander Calder, Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Vincent van Gogh.

"NYC-ARTS puts the spotlight on organizations, artists and events large and small," said Joan Hershey, Editorial Director of series. "But where we really shine is in our ability to provide an "insider's view" of some of the major cultural events in our area, such as this exhibition at the Guggenheim."

Co-hosted by New York Emmy Award winners Philippe de Montebello and Paula Zahn, with events around town reported by Ha, NYC-ARTS showcases both world-renowned and local, community-based arts organizations.
