High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hildegard Anna Augusta Elizabeth Freiin Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, Baroness Hilla von Rebay, or simply Hilla Rebay (31 May 1890, Strasbourg, Alsace 27 September 1967, Greens Farms, Connecticut), was one of the few female abstract painters in the beginning of the 20th century. Von Rebay came from a German noble family; she lived in Berlin before moving to the United States in 1927. She was an avid art collector and a long-time friend and confidante of Solomon R. Guggenheim and helped him to buy various artworks to establish the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. She was also the one who chose architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design the museum. Apart from her meticulous taste in modern art, and painting many pieces herself, she was rumoured to be difficult and bossy. She had a good rapport with Solomon Guggenheim, but not with the rest of the family, especially his niece Peggy. She was internally called "the B", (not for "baroness"), and when Guggenheim died, the family expelled her from the board of directors. When the museum was finally opened, she was not even invited for the opening.
