Description
This catalogue – the first of eight planned volumes that will critically present the entire oeuvre of Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based architect Frank Gehry (born 1929) using his sketches as the primary graphic material – includes texts and high-quality images of individual works and preparatory drawings. The book explores the beginning of Gehry's conceptual thinking and his progression from paper architecture to poststructuralism.
Pritzker Award-winning architect Frank Gehry is the quintessential star architect: he was the subject of a Sydney Pollack documentary, Sketches of Frank Gehry, and Vanity Fair ran a cover story labelling him "the most important architect of our age." His irreverent buildings, often incorporating swooping walls made of aluminium, titanium or stainless steel, are world-renowned attractions, and his iconic design for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao made both Gehry and the Basque city world-famous.
This, the first catalogue raisonné of drawings, was written by architecture scholar Jean-Louis Cohen in direct collaboration with Gehry.

Critics praise this volume for providing a revealing look into Gehry's creative process through a visual archive of sketches and blueprints. Natasha Wolff of Forbes: Media highlights its inclusion of major projects like the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Walt Disney Concert Hall, while David Saric of S Magazine emphasises its focus on Gehry's ambitious evolution from conceptual renderings to innovative architecture.
