Event Information
The Guggenheim Museum's landmark exhibition, The Art of the Motorcycle, will inaugurate the Guggenheim Las Vegas with a new installation designed by Frank O. Gehry. The Art of the Motorcycle premiered in New York at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in the summer of 1998, where it drew record numbers of visitors and was heralded as a ground-breaking cultural event. Following its presentation in New York, the exhibition traveled to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, and to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain, where it also broke attendance records. The exhibition chronicles the most compelling moments in the evolution of motorcycle technology and design, and places the motorcycle within a cultural and historical context. More than 130 motorcycles are arranged chronologically, beginning with the Michaux Perreaux (1868) (essentially a steam engine attached to a bicycle) to the latest and most technologically advanced models. Punctuating the chronology are two thematic sections, which highlight custom motorcycles and post-World War II racing models. In addition, the exhibition will feature a large collection of approximately 200 pieces of motorcycle ephemera and memorabilia, including advertising and sales brochures, as well as original motorcycle posters, made available for the first time for the Las Vegas presentation. The exhibition will also contain a substantial video component.
