Book Description:
An insightful examination of the social planning and the
individual subjectivity of the architecture of Frank Gehry.
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.
Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe is a painter and art critic, whose publications
include Beauty and the Contemporary Sublime, Beyond Piety: Critical
Essays on the Visual Arts 1986-1993, and Immanence and
Contradiction: Recent Essays on the Artistic Device.He has been
awarded National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in painting,
and in 1998 was presented with the Frank Jewett Mather Award for
Art Criticism by the College Art Association. He teaches in the
graduate school at Art Center, Pasadena, California.
