The high priestess of that temple was Hilla Rebay, a German-born aristocrat who became Solomon R. Guggenheim's friend, adviser and possibly lover, and convinced him to establish what would become the Guggenheim Museum.

 Where Have You Gone, Hilla Rebay? - May 20, 2005 - The New York Sun - NY Newspaper
Hilla Rebay, the abstract artist and the first director of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting (now the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum), was as important to the reception of Modern art and abstraction in America as Alfred H. Barr Jr., the first director of MoMA.
Two current exhibitions, "Hilla Rebay and the Museum of Non-Objective Painting" at DC Moore Gallery and "Art of Tomorrow: Hilla Rebay and Solomon R. Guggenheim" at the Guggenheim, are devoted to Rebay, the artists she championed, and her connection to Guggenheim and his museum, which she was instrumental in founding.
Together these two uneven shows, comprised of more than 250 works (roughly 175 by Rebay), give us a pretty good overview not only of Rebay's shaky trajectory as a painter, but also of her uneven taste as a museum director and collector.
