Gehry - Artist and Icon

Frank Gehry (1929-2025) had an extraordinary impact on architectural practice, pushing limits in a way that has inspired many. His interactions with artists as both a friend and a collaborator sparked forms that found iconic expression in buildings such as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which is the inevitable protagonist of this book by Luis Fernandez-Galiano. A selection of essays explores the projects Gehry carried out in his adopted California, from early houses to the Disney Hall, plus European works like the Vitra Design Museum and the American Center for Art and Culture in Paris, sculptural structures that have weathered both difficulties and controversy.
