NEW YORK CITY LANDMARKS HAVE BEEN MISPLACED, THEIR CURRENT LOCATION UNKNOWN. PHOTOGRAPHS OF UNCLEAR ORIGIN APPEAR TO SHOW THEM SCATTERED ACROSS THE GLOBE – ON SAND DUNES, MUD FLATS, “LUNAR” PLAINS, AND ROCKY BEACHES. NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY. DID THEY ACT OF THEIR OWN VOLITION? WAS THERE FOUL PLAY INVOLVED? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? STORIES TRICKLE IN FROM THE FUTURE, FROM ARCHITECTS, ONLINE REVIEWERS, AND THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES, BUT THESE ONLY ADD TO THE CONFUSION. YOUR CURIOSITY AND HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
Misplaced Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum
ARCHITECT: Frank Lloyd Wright, George Cohen
COMPLETED: 1959
SUPPOSED LOCATION: 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York
CURRENT LOCATION: Unknown
Guggenheim museums began sprouting across the globe, from the Basque Country to faraway Dubai, until there was nowhere else for them to grow. The board of directors sent agents to scour the earth for primitive lands that knew nothing of modern and contemporary art. At last word arrived of such a place. A check was written, migrant workers hired, and a museum rose from the volcanic mudflats of X. Ticket sales have been sluggish.
