Now on view at Guggenheim Exhibitions, *Sensory Poetics: Collecting Abstraction* traces how abstraction entered museum collections through decisions shaped as much by taste and politics as by form. The presentation brings together works that privilege perception—color, rhythm, surface—and asks what institutions have historically valued when “nonrepresentational” art was still contested. In New York, where abstraction became a civic identity after mid-century, the show reads as a local ledger of influence and omission. One clear takeaway is that collecting itself acts like an edit, not a neutral record.
