27.06.2008 - New branch of the Guggenheim Museum to be opened in Spain
Government officials in Bilbao, Spain, have proposed that a new branch of the Guggenheim Museum there be built in the countryside, beyond the city’s outskirts, Reuters reported.
José Luis Bilbao, who leads the Vizcaya provincial government, said that local officials could finance the project, to be built in a nature reserve. Juan Ignacío Vidarte, director general of the Bilbao Guggenheim, known for its twisting, titanium-clad building designed by Frank Gehry said the new branch would link art with the notion of environmental sustainability. He did not say who would design the building or when it would open. In New York, Betsy Ennis, a spokeswoman for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, said it had reviewed an initial proposal from the Guggenheim Bilbao for the new satellite museum and would analyze its programming, architecture, operations and budget issues over the next few months (New York Times).
