| VISUALS: Beauty and the beastly
The Guggenheim is so hospitable to vehicles. Maybe it's because the famously spiraling interior resembles a parking garage. Remember "Motorcycle!," the show that rumbled into the Frank Lloyd Wright landmark a few years back, looking great even as it was madly vilified? This winter, artist/pyrotechnic wizard Cai Guo-Qiang's nine-car pile-up, "Inopportune: Stage One," inhabits the rotunda as the suspended centerpiece of a floor-to-ceiling, one-man retrospective. .
