Guggenheim show comes with free iron-on transfers

Among the predictable crowd-pleasers in the Guggenheim’s almost-open theanyspacewhatever exhibition is a book of iron-on decals with images of the landmark building as well as works from the show.

The Transfer Book of iron-ons will be given away free for the first two days of the exhibition, which oens Friday, Guggenheim spokeswoman Betsy Ennis told NewYorkology today. After the first two days, the booklets will be on sale in the gift shop for a reasonable price, possibly $5 she said.

The booklet is filled with the illustrations of Craig Mullins, and is intended to accompany Pierre Huyghe’s “OPENING” events, which will take place October 24, November 17 and December 8.

Each of the 12 iron-ons is in black, white and grey tones, measuring 8 by 9 inches.

“theanyspacewhatever” will be on display at the Guggenheim from October 24 through January 7.
