The Silver Guggenheim — Guggenheim 11 in the 20 Year Series

Silver Guggenheim Painting by Borbay

On July 2, 2009 — I became a full-time artist. My first sale? A 30″X30″ painting of The Guggenheim, created on 5th Avenue, in front of The Guggenheim. When the desire to paint Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece struck again, it felt too opportunistic… unless. Unless it became something grandiose… a benchmark for my career.

So, I decided to paint The Guggenheim, each year, for twenty years. Back then, as a dude living in NYC with a steady girl and a scary new career — it felt impossible. Today, I find myself living in Idaho, married, with three kids and nine Gugg’s to go.

For this year, I went clean… and shared the time lapse with some explicit beats, courtesy of my boy Louis Metric. Not only is this guy a microphone assassin — he is a total beer-league sniper… listen, follow, and watch him ascend.
