About Hilla von Rebay
Hildegard Anna Augusta Elisabeth Freiin Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, known as Baroness Hilla von Rebay or simply Hilla Rebay, was a German and American abstract artist, and co-founder and first director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She was a key figure in advising Solomon R. Guggenheim to collect abstract art, a collection that would later form the basis of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum collection. She was also responsible for selecting Frank Lloyd Wright to design the current Guggenheim museum, which is now known as a modernist icon in New York City.
