Carol Bove Presents Major Retrospective at Guggenheim Museum with Farrow & Ball Collaboration

exhibition · 2026-03-19

Carol Bove, a Swiss-born American artist, has opened a comprehensive solo exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. The presentation features works from the past two decades, including recent sculptures and early minimalist pieces, arranged in reverse chronological order throughout the museum's rotunda. A central aspect of the show is a collaboration with British paint manufacturer Farrow & Ball, which created 40 custom wall colors to complement Bove's industrial materials like steel and aluminum. Curator Katherine Brinson notes the chromatic dialogue enhances the visitor experience within Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural space. The exhibition runs through August 2, 2026.
