One fun fact from the Daily News article:
"Wednesday night, the Empire State Building will be lit "Guggenheim red" in celebration of the museum's anniversary. Early on, Wright wanted the museum to be crimson, which he described as "the color of creation." Rebay wrote back, "Red is a color which displeases [founder Solomon Guggenheim] as much as it does me." I love it! Red is the color of life, passion and love! How appropriate it would have been for this structure!
