Publications in 2018 included Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future; Thannhauser Collection: French Modernism at the Guggenheim; The Hugo Boss Prize 2018; Giacometti; One Hand Clapping; Guggenheim Social Practice; and Danh Vo: Take My Breath Away.

In 2018 the Guggenheim Foundation published, on a variety of topics, 39 videos and 158 audio tracks, bringing the total videos available on the site to more than 400 and audio tracks to more than 900. Forty-six blog posts that provide insights into exhibitions, contemporary art, global culture, and museum archives and history were published in 2018, bringing the total number available online to more than 1,000.

First launched in June 2013, the Guggenheim app provides visitors with accessible information, building tours, collection resources, and interactive special exhibition content in real time, and in multiple languages. In 2018, the app was available for download on the Apple App store and also available as a free "rental" device to visitors to the Guggenheim Museum. This multifaceted technology has proven to be an integral educational tool, deeply engaging diverse audiences with the museums modern and contemporary art. In addition to the 173,623 visitors who used a free, museum-provided device to use the app during their visit, the app was also downloaded 45,187 times. In 2018 alone, these two groups combined listened to the Guggenheim Museum audio tracks on the app more than 2,500,000 times. (3) THE Guggenheim Foundation EDUCATED THE GENERAL PUBLIC THROUGH FREE WITH ADMISSION DAILY EDUCATOR LED TOURS, THE GALLERY GUIDE PROGRAM, WEEKLY IN-GALLERY FAMILY PROGRAMS AND FILM SCREENINGS, COURSES, LECTURES, SYMPOSIA, PERFORMANCES, AND OTHER PROGRAMS. THE Guggenheim Museum WELCOMES STUDENTS AT ALL PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND OFFERS DISCOUNTED OR COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO STUDENTS WITH VALID ID. THE Guggenheim Foundation'S MIND'S EYE PROGRAM EXPLORED CURRENT EXHIBITIONS THROUGH VERBAL IMAGING AND TOUCH FOR VISITORS WHO ARE BLIND OR HAVE LOW VISION. VISITORS WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING WERE SERVED THROUGH ASL-INTERPRETED CURATOR'S AND CONSERVATOR'S EYE TOURS. THE Guggenheim Foundation'S LEARNING THROUGH ART PROGRAM SPONSORED ARTIST RESIDENCIES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN ALL FIVE BOROUGHS OF NEW YORK CITY AND MOUNTED A MONTH LONG EXHIBITION OF STUDENT WORK IN THE MUSEUM'S GALLERIES. EDUCATORS PARTICIPATED IN WEEKEND WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON CLASSROOM APPLICATIONS AND FREE OPEN HOUSE EVENTS WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO VIEW NEW EXHIBITIONS. FAMILY PROGRAMS WERE AVAILABLE TO VISITORS, ENCOURAGING THEM TO DISCOVER THE MUSEUM THROUGH FAMILY TOURS, ART MAKING WORKSHOPS AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF FREE GUIDES AND ACTIVITY PACKS. K-12 SCHOOL GROUPS PARTICIPATED IN INTERACTIVE MUSEUM TOURS THAT WERE CUSTOMIZED FOR BOTH TYPICALLY DEVELOPING CHILDREN AND THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. THE Guggenheim Museum ORGANIZED TWO GUGGENHEIM SOCIAL PRACTICE PROJECTS-ONE WITH MARC BAMUTHI JOSEPH AND THE OTHER BY LENKA CLAYTON AND JON RUBIN. BOTH PROJECTS ALONG WITH A CATALOGUE AND CURRICULUM PUBLICATION, WERE FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FOUNDATION. GUGGENHEIM SOCIAL PRACTICE WAS LAUNCHED IN 2014 AS AN INITIATIVE COMMITTED TO EXPLORING WAYS IN WHICH ARTISTS CAN INITIATE PROJECTS THAT ENGAGE COMMUNITY PARTICIPANTS, TOGETHER WITH THE MUSEUM, TO FOSTER NEW FORMS OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. AS A PART OF THIS SOCIAL PRACTICE INITIATIVE, the Guggenheim Foundation SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A MAJOR GRANT FROM THE WILLIAM R. KENAN JR. CHARITABLE TRUST. THIS GRANT FUNDED A COMMISSION BY ARTIST AND ACTIVIST SHAUN LEONARDO, WHICH CULMINATED IN A PERFORMANCE AND SYMPOSIUM IN 2018. (4)Launched in April 2012, the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative (MAP) was a multi-year collaboration between the Guggenheim Foundation and UBS with a goal of creating awareness and access to contemporary art from regions underrepresented by art history: South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa. The initiative ended in 2018 and had an impact on the emerging network of global art practitioners, which included artists, critics, curators and scholars from around the world, forging a new field of global art history and championing new ways of thinking about contemporary art. The final exhibition in the series, But a Storm Is Blowing from Paradise: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa premiered in 2018 at the Galleria dArte Moderna in Milan, Italy. In total, through the MAP project, the Guggenheim Foundation assembled a remarkable collection of 126 new works by 88 artists and collectives from 37 countries. MAPs online platform that was completed in 2018 extends the projects legacy as a permanent global exhibition and research resource. (5) Launched in March 2013, The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative was established to expand the discourse on contemporary art from Greater China by commissioning artists of Chinese origin to create major works that will enter the Guggenheim Foundation's collection and to present a series of exhibitions in conjunction with scholarly publications, lectures, and education programs. The initiative brought positive interest from Asia-based media, along with interest by national and arts publications. In 2018, the final exhibition, One Hand Clapping, organized by Xiaoyu Weng, Hou Hanru, and Kyung An, created a unique opportunity to create additional connections between the artists and the Guggenheim Museum's audience through multiple communication channels. A special appearance at the opening from Brooklyn Nets basketball player Jeremy Lin - whose likeness was featured in Lin Yilin's work - paved the way for subsequent coverage on the Nets website. |
| (6) Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will be located in the cultural | District of Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Designed by internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry, the future museum will house its own major modern and contemporary art collection and present special exhibitions that will include works from the Guggenheim Foundation's extensive collection. In 2018, the team worked on acquisition and collection research with projects such as commissioning Sarah Morris film Abu Dhabi, which became the first commissioned artwork for Guggenheim Abu Dhabis permanent collection.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | The charter for the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees describes the process the Committee uses for determining the compensation of the director of the museum and foundation and other members of the executive staff of the foundation.

That process includes: (1) review and approval by the Compensation Committee; (2) the use of comparable data; and (3) contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberations and decisions, reflected in the minutes of the compensation committee. The compensation committee consists entirely of Trustees who are not employees. In 2018, the committee used this process to determine the compensation of the director of the museum and foundation and the initial compensation of the incoming senior deputy director and chief operating officer and a severance payment to the outgoing senior deputy director and chief operating officer. |

| FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 11F | Investment Management Fees In accordance with ASU 2016-14, the Foundation is reporting its investment management fees as part of net investment return on the financial statements rather than presenting the expense separately, as was done in prior years.

As such, the investment management fees are included in the net unrealized return rather than listed on the Statement of Functional Expenses.
