Description: Conversations with Frank Gehry, by Barbara Isenberg Published at $40.00 by Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 2009, 1st Edition, hardcover, dustcover, 290 pages, 7.75 x 9.5 inches. Filled with color and black & white images. From the dustcover: This book is an unprecedented, intimate, and richly illustrated portrait of Frank Gehry, one of the world's most influential architects. Drawing on the most candid, revealing, and entertaining conversations she has had with Gehry over the last twenty years, Isenberg provides new and fascinating insights into the man and his work. Subjects range from his childhood to his relationships with clients and his definition of a great client. We learn about his architectural influences, including Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright and what he has learned from Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Rauschenberg. We explore the thinking behind his designs for the Guggenheim Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the redevelopment of Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn and Grand Avenue in Los Angeles, the Gehry Collection at Tiffany's, and ongoing projects in Toronto, Paris, Abu Dhabi, and elsewhere. He illuminates the creative process by which his ideas first take shape, for example, through early drawings for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Sketches, models, and computer images provided by Gehry himself allow us to see how his landmark buildings have come to fruition, step-by-step. CONDITION: Very good. A hint of edge and corner tip wear to dust cover. Interior like new, unread.
