New Museum: Frank Lloyd Wright Stirs Hubbub in NY. The Guggenheim Museum, last creation of the late (famous architect) Frank Lloyd Wright, and the most controversial building in New York City's history, is finally opened, giving gallery goers the first look at the continuous spiral ramp that runs the height of the structure, and forms one of the most controversial features of this new showplace for modern art. Exteriors, day, Guggenheim, 1950s traffic foreground. Ribbon-cutting ceremony (Mayor Robert Wagner). Interiors showing off the architecture of the place. Gallery workers hang and adjust paintings. Mayor Wagner (?) and Harry F. Guggenheim in front of sculpture. Museum visitors, more sculptures.
