Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain was declared “the greatest building of our time” by none other than Philip Johnson. Gehry’s work has been described by another great architect, Renzo Piano, as being “like an explosion. It’s about energy; it’s about joy. It’s frozen movement.” Gehry will be joined by Pulitzer Prize winner and leading architecture critic Paul Goldberger, author of the critical biography Building Art: The Life and Work of Frank Gehry. We are privileged to have the opportunity to hear this great architect and artist and his biographer speak about his life, his work, and his legacy. Hosted by Nicholas Negroponte, cofounder of the MIT Media Lab. Sponsored by Ann and Graham Gund.
