Frank Lloyd Wright, known for his disdain of urban density, sought to situate the Guggenheim Museum outside Manhattan. However, the foundation opted for Fifth Avenue, and Wright designed a spiraling structure featuring natural light and outdoor concepts. The museum's current exhibition by Rashid Johnson further embodies integrating nature and art, showcasing his collection atop the museum with a light-filled environment. Johnson's work examines the complexities of Black male identity through his series, Untitled Anxious Men, reflecting his upbringing and cultural background.
