Few architects have reshaped the way we see buildings—and experience space—quite like Frank Gehry. Famed for his daring deconstructivist style, Gehry blurs the boundaries between architecture and sculpture, creating structures that ripple, fold, and shimmer like living works of art. From the soaring curves of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to the gleaming surfaces of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, his imaginative designs have left an indelible mark on skylines around the world.
Art historian Jennie Hirsh surveys Gehry’s remarkable career, examining his contributions to residential, commercial, cultural, and educational buildings in both North America and Europe. Beginning with Gehry House—the suburban California home he famously reimagined for his own family—Hirsh traces the evolution of Gehry’s unique postmodern vision.
Focusing on key works such as the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein; the Olympic Fish Pavilion in Barcelona; the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao; the Peter B. Lewis Building at Case Western Reserve University; the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles; the renovation of the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto; the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis; the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris; and the Core Project at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Hirsh demonstrates how Gehry’s innovative structural and sculptural forms have transformed architecture across continents.
