Summary:
"American architect Frank O. Gehry is one of the great architects of the twentieth century. His Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, completed in 1997, has been heralded as the most important building of its time. Yet his exceptional career has never been comprehensively presented. This first major monograph on Gehry's work includes more than 250 buildings and projects designed throughout his forty-year career, each fully documented with photographs, presentation drawings, and Gehry's own sketches. The architect's early work - the Davis Studio and Residence in Malibu, the multistage renovation of the Hollywood Bowl, the first remodeling of his own house in Santa Monica - explores various strains of modern architecture in an attempt to establish a personal voice. Gehry stretched, shrunk, and broke the modern box, examining perspective and geometry, and at the same time became interested in cheap, popular materials (corrugated metal, chain link, plywood) and raw finishes. These themes gradually metamorphosed into a period of assemblage and collage, in which Gehry rendered buildings as separate, often single-function "building objects" subject to a collective, cohesive identity; simultaneously, material juxtapositions grew more subtle. A series of important houses - the Sirmai-Peterson House in Thousand oaks, the Schnabel Residence in Brentwood, and the Winton Guest House in Wayzata, Minnesota - most clearly exemplifies this time. Most recently, Gehry's work has experimented with complex forms and sculptural geometries and includes a group of significant cultural projects, including the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the American Center in Paris, and the Frederick R. Weisman Museum at the University of Minnesota. The monograph also showcases the enormous variety of projects that has always characterized Gehry's work: all incarnations of his fish sculptures, from the seventy-foot chain-link rendition at the Fishdance Restaurant in Kobe, Japan, to the Formica Fish Lamp; the Easy Edges, Experimental Edges, and Bentwood series of furniture; a great number of exhibition designs; collaborations with artists; and the multiple schemes for the Lewis House in Lyndhurst, Ohio. The Bilbao Guggenheim is both the culmination of these works and the path Gehry will continue to explore in his architecture." -- Dust Jacket.
