		Gehry will view it as encouragement for continuing an extraordinary "work in progress, "as well as for his significant contributions thus far to the architecture of the twentieth century.
		For Frank Gehry, these explorations characteristically take place at the point where architecture and sculpture meet in anxious and uneasy confrontation; this is the difficult, dangerous and uncharted area that he has made his own.
		An then there is the real Frank Gehry, who is all and none of this: an admirer of the quirky, the accidental and the absurd, tuned in to the transient nature of much contemporary culture, while he is deeply involved, personally and professionally, with the world of serious art and artists.

		Gehry's love of architecture is about the process: the conceptualizing and mark-making and model-building, and that's what comes across in the final results.
		Gehry and his current wife, Berta (who is also CFO of Gehry's company), had bought a pink, two-story bungalow in Santa Monica, Calif., and Gehry set out to personalize it using modest, industrial materials.
		Gehry is, himself, among the few critics who feel the interior flaw is in the scale of the massive main gallery.

		Gehry has also achieved great success as a furniture designer (many of his pieces are in design museums and independent collections) and as an educator, having held distinguished chairs at Yale University and Harvard University.
		Gehry envisioned the museum as a “three-dimensional floating puzzle,” with colorful, curved, and undulating forms, inspired, in part, by the image of a shattered guitar.
		Gehry is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1989, often described as being the equivalent in architecture of the Nobel Prize.

		Gehry was interested in creating galleries that would be beautiful, but that would not overpower the art that is displayed there.
		Gehry has moved beyond modern architecture with its emphasis on pure geometric forms embodied by steel-and-glass skyscrapers.
		Perhaps Gehry could be called a deconstructionist architect who explores ideas of chaos, breaking boundaries and multiple viewpoints.

		Gehry produced a number of significant works in his early career, but it was not until the 1977-78 transformation of his own Santa Monica residence-a small, pink, 1920s wood-shingled house-that he gained the attention of the architectural cognoscenti.
		Because the client asked for a design that would refer to classical traditions, Gehry proposed-instead of one large structure-a cluster of buildings, "like an acropolis." Though initially met with skepticism by the faculty, the campus is widely acclaimed and often compared to Thomas Jefferson's exalted University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville.

		Frank Gehry: The City and Music is the result of a unique collaboration between the architect and leading critic Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe.
		The book focuses on two projects, Gehry's unrealized proposal for the rehabilitation of Berlin's Museum Island and his soon to be completed Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles,while discussing other projects such as the Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Concord, California, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
		Gehry's much debated relationship to Minimalist sculpture, uses of new building materials and attitude to tradition, are discussed with regard to his belief in architecture as a democratic practice which is at once practical and expressive.

	Plots & Plans: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum/Frank Gehry Plan for Lower Manhattan's waterfront (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Gehry is widely recognized as the greatest living architect whose combination of plastic, poetic and high-tech designs have broken the rigid hold of rectilinear design that has dominated most modern architecture until very recently.
		Gehry's Bilbao Museum has probably attracted more interest and attention than any new building in the world since the Chrysler Building and its silvery spire was unveiled in 1931.
		Gehry's recent designs are great sculptural art, imbued with the energy of Kandinsky, the metallic skins of David Smith and Brancusi and the imaginativeness of Piranesi and Gaudi.

	Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006): Reviews
		Gehry sketches and free-associates about how he's not nearly the menschy aw-shucks pussycat from Canada he appears to be but rather a wily, complicated L.A. lion.
		The footage of Gehry's work, notably the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, is often startlingly beautiful, and Gehry is forthcoming about how he achieved his effects.
		Gehry is a fascinating subject, a strangely magnetic combination of rumpled, aw-shucks humility and Herculean ambition and hubris, but every time Pollack stumbles onto a fascinating topic like Gehry's battles with anti-Semitism, he pulls away instead of delving deeper.

	Guggenheim Museum - Frank Gehry - Projects
		Gehry's furniture designs are a "quick fix" of his architectural practice: their realization is relatively immediate and low cost, and they provide a satisfying smaller forum in which various design concerns, including ones relating to his buildings, may be explored.
		For his first designs, Easy Edges (1969–73), Gehry favored the simplicity of corrugated cardboard, a material frequently employed in his architectural models.
		Gehry used thick corrugated cardboard with a pronounced texture to create this furniture's larger volumes, manipulating their density by combining sheets of varying widths within a single form.

		Since Bilbao, all of Gehry's projects get a lot of attention, including the Nationale Nederlanden Building (1992-96) in Prague, the Experience Music Project (1995-2000) in Seattle, and the DG Bank Building (1995-2001) in Berlin, each assessed in detail with photos, drawings, plans, and scale models.

	Getting Personal With Frank Gehry
		The insightful and breezy "Sketches of Frank Gehry" takes its title and inspiration from the architect's deceptively simple and free-form renderings that are the earliest conception of what can turn into, after years of enormous effort, masterpieces such as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
		Not surprisingly, Gehry, who is 77, has been approached numerous times by people wanting to make films about him and his distinctively bold creations, which have drawn critical and popular acclaim for, most famously, their shimmering and irregular titanium-lined shapes.
		Gehry and Pollack have known each other since the early 1980s, when they met at a party thrown by members of a therapy group that Gehry and Pollack's wife were in.
