...between architecture and painting, in which both come out badly maimed," declared Art Critic John Canaday on Page One of the New York Times. "The most beautiful building in America," retorted Critic Emily Genauer in the New York Herald Tribune. "A building that should be put in a museum to show how mad the 20th Century is," editorialized the New York Daily Mirror... Thus in a babel of discord, and six months after his death, Frank Lloyd Wright's last major work, the $3,000,000 Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum...opened to the public last week... What first visitors...
