The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation announced today that it has been selected for a $1 million Chairman’s Special Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for its upcoming exhibition, The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia , 1860–1989. The Guggenheim is the only museum to receive the Chairman’s Special Award for an ’s Historical and Cultural Organizations implementation grant for this grant cycle. This award represents the highest level of funding for a single project nationwide.

The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia , 1860–1989 will illuminate the dynamic and complex impact of Asian art, literary texts, music, and philosophical concepts on American art from the late 19th century to the contemporary period. Organized into seven chronological and thematic sections, this unprecedented survey exhibition will challenge the widely accepted view of the development of American modern art as a dialogue with European sources by alternatively focusing upon artists’ prolonged engagement with Asian art forms and ideas.
