Frank Gehry: The Masterpieces' is a comprehensive compendium of the architect’s most significant buildings. Gehry’s unmistakable curving and crumpling aesthetic, which gives his structures an almost surreal sense of movement, subverting traditional building norms, are proclaimed to be among the greatest masterpieces of the twentieth-century. This spectacular volume includes nearly five hundred illustrations and photographs produced in collaboration with Cahiers d’Art. From Gehry’s own home in Santa Monica to the radiant undulations of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao — considered by legendary architect Phillip Johnson to be ‘the greatest buildings of our time’ — the collection includes forty of the architect’s most remarkable works, including The Beekman Hotel, New York and the Binoculars Building, Los Angeles. Critic and architect Jean-Louis Cohen provides an authoritative voice for the indelible mark left by Frank Gehry on the history of architectural design in this essential edition published by Flammarion.
