129 works across 3 institutions
New York holds 129 works by Paul Klee across 3 institutions, including Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Klee worked on a small scale with extraordinary inventiveness — paintings, drawings, watercolours — and his works reward the closest possible looking. In person, the materials and surfaces are as interesting as the imagery: wax, oil, chalk, on paper, linen, and burlap.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
New York · 41 works on display
The Guggenheim Museum is as much architecture as institution — Frank Lloyd Wright's spiralling rotunda is one of the great buildings of the 20th century, and the collection of modern and contemporary art is among the finest in the world.

Planning your visit to New York
New York's major museums are spread across Manhattan — the Metropolitan Museum and Guggenheim are on the Upper East Side (4/5/6 subway), while MoMA is in Midtown and the Whitney is in the Meatpacking District. The Metropolitan suggests a donation rather than charging a fixed fee for New York State residents; out-of-state visitors pay the listed price. Allow a full day for the Met; the other collections are more manageable in a half-day.
