Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, 2003 © Image Courtesy of Gehry Partners, LLP Filmabend im Stadtkino Basel Sydney Pollacks Dokumentation „Sketches of Frank Gehry“ ist ein einfühlsames Portrait über einen der Stars der Architekturszene und weit mehr als nur eine Skizze zum Werk Gehrys. Viele Filmemacher hatten Gehry im Laufe der Jahrzehnte gebeten, ihn und seine Arbeit porträtieren zu dürfen. Frank Gehry selbst ist schließlich auf seinen langjährigen Freund Pollack zugegangen, der Szenen aus dem Schaffensprozess beobachten durfte. Die Zuschauer/innen gewinnen so Einblicke in die Arbeit eines der bekanntesten Architekten unserer Zeit. Regie: Sydney Pollack Mit Frank O. Gehry, Michael Eisner, Bob Geldorf, Rolf Fehlbaum.

  • The Fondation Louis Vuitton
    THE FONDATION LOUIS VUITTON A new ambition for LVMH's corporate patronage Created by the LVMH group and its Maisons in 2006 on the initiative of Bernard Arnault, the Fondation Louis Vuitton forms part of the art and culture patronage programme developed by the group for over twenty years. It also marks a new step driven by a renewed ambition: – A lasting commitment with the desire to become firmly rooted in a particular place and bring an institution to life over the long term. – A major philanthropic gesture towards the city of Paris with the construction of an exceptional building on municipal state property and the signature of a 55-year occupancy agreement with Paris city council. Driven by a desire to work for the common good, the Fondation Louis Vuitton demonstrates a clear commitment to contemporary art and looks to make it accessible to as many people as possible. To foster the creation of contemporary art on a national and international scale, the Fondation Louis Vuitton calls on a permanent collection, commissions from artists, temporary modern and contemporary art exhibitions and multidisciplinary events. One of its priorities is to fulfil an educational role, especially among the young. A new monument for Paris Frank Gehry has designed a building that, through its strength and singularity, represents the first artistic step on the part of the Fondation Louis Vuitton. This large vessel covered in twelve glass sails, situated in the Bois de Boulogne, on the edge of avenue du Mahatma Gandhi, is attached to the Jardin d'Acclimatation. Set on a water garden created for the occasion, the building blends into the natural environment, amidst the wood and the garden, playing with light and mirror effects.

Known all over the world for his buildings, many of which have attained iconic status, Frank Gehry has revolutionised architecture’s aesthetics, its social and cultural role, and its relationship to the city. It was in Los Angeles, in the early 1960s, that Gehry opened his own office as an architect. There he engaged with the California art scene, becoming friends with artists such as Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Larry Bell, and Ron Davis. His encounter with the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns would open the way to a transformation of his practice as an architect, for which his own, now world-famous, house at Santa Monica would serve as a manifesto. Frank Gehry’s work has since then been based on the interrogation of architecture’s means of expression, a process that has brought with it new methods of design and a new approach to materials, with for example the use of such “poor” materials as cardboard, sheet steel and industrial wire mesh.

In the spring of my sophomore year, I took Professor Gorse’s class “Modern Architecture and Sustainability,” during which I became enthralled in the subject by his unparalleled passion for and poetic articulation of architectural history. Having been both his student and advisee, I am eternally grateful for the incredible advice, challenging insights, and jovial encouragement that Professor Gorse has always provided. I will also forever be in awe of Professor Gorse’s astonishing mental library and ability to recall entire names of art historical texts and scholars at the drop of a hat. I would also like to thank my secondary reader, Professor Bruce Coats, who made himself available to me and returned helpful revisions even while on sabbatical.

  • Exhibition: Frank Gehry on View: September 13, 2015–March 20, 2016 Location: Resnick Pavilion
    Exhibition: Frank Gehry On View: September 13, 2015–March 20, 2016 Location: Resnick Pavilion (Image captions on page 7) (Los Angeles, June 9, 2015)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents the United States premiere of Frank Gehry, a major retrospective examining the prolific body of work of one of the world’s most celebrated and innovative architects. Canadian-born, Los Angeles–based architect Frank O. Gehry has revolutionized architecture’s aesthetics, social and cultural roles, and its relationship to the city. His understanding of a city’s heterogeneous and fluid nature has distinguished him as a revolutionary urbanist. Gehry’s works—from his residence in Santa Monica (1977–78) to Walt Disney Concert Hall (1989–2003) in downtown Los Angeles and Fondation Louis Vuitton (2005–14) in Paris—question a building’s means of expression, a process that has originated new methods of design and technology as well as an innovative approach to architectural materials. Tracing the arc of Gehry's career from the early 1960s to the present, the exhibition focuses on two overarching themes: urbanism and the development of digital design and fabrication, specifically his use of CATIA Digital Project, a software tool that Gehry developed, which allows the digital manipulation of three-dimensional information. Organized by the Centre Pompidou, Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, Frank Gehry examines a total of over 60 projects through more than 200 drawings, many of which will be on view for the first time, as well as 66 models that illuminate the evolution of his architectural process. In addition, the LACMA presentation will include new models not previously seen in the Centre Pompidou's exhibition, representing buildings currently being designed or in the process of construction.

  • Sketches of Frank Gehry
    Mongrel Media Presents SKETCHES OF FRANK GEHRY DIRECTED BY SYDNEY POLLACK “I prefer the sketch quality, the tentativeness, the messiness, the appearance of in-progress rather than the assumption of total resolution and finality..” Running time: 82 mins Distribution 1028 Queen Street West Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR Tel: 416-488-4436 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/press.html Synopsis “Sketches of Frank Gehry" is director Sydney Pollack's first feature length documentary on the acclaimed architect, Frank O. Gehry. The two men have been friends for many years, and Pollack completed the film over a period of five years, starting in 2000. Frank Gehry loves to sketch; it is the beginning of his architectural process. And it is his love of the sketch that gave Pollack his first clues to the style of this documentary film. Beginning with Gehry’s own original sketches for each major project, the film explores Gehry’s process of turning these abstract drawings, first into tangible, three-dimensional models, often made simply of cardboard and scotch tape, then into finished buildings of titanium and glass, concrete and steel, wood and stone. To capture the sketch quality in the documentary, Pollack uses a combination of film and Mini DV (digital video) as his media. Spending countless hours in Gehry’s studio, on building sites, and in his home, this unobtrusive and quiet shooting style has captured, for the first time, the essence of Gehry’s unique architectural process, and his shy and elusive personality.
