For the first time, Frank Gehry himself discusses his latest projects
and his extraordinary creative process. With the completion of the
acclaimed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, architect Frank O. Gehry
has entered the pantheon of twentieth century-masters. "Gehry Talks:
Architecture + Process" documents Gehry's work from 1988 to the present,
tracing his evolution from a Southern California architect known for
his idiosyncratic use of materials, as well as his collaborations with
local artists, to an international figure who is redefining modernism
with his sculpturally expressionistic work. This generously
illustrated presentation features 36 projects, including the Walt Disney
Concert Hall in Los Angeles, The American Center in Paris, the
Frederick R. Weisman Museum in Minneapolis, the Conde Nast Cafeteria in
New York City, the Bard College Center for the Performing Arts in
Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, and, of course, the Guggenheim Museum in
Bilbao. Editor Mildred Friedman and architecture critic Michael Sorkin
provide insightful essays, and Gehry himself offers extensive and
though-provoking commentary on various aspects of the
processes-including his use of advanced computer technology-involved in
his revolutionary designs
