Purchase options and add-ons

An authoritative compendium on the main masterpieces of Frank Gehry, including 480 illustrations and photographs, produced in collaboration with Cahiers d’Art.


Experimenting with a range of materials from cheap mass-produced items to space-age titanium, and using 3D computer modeling as an architectural tool, Frank Gehry’s buildings are remarkable and surprising, united by the sense of movement they convey. His projects flow, curve, bend, and crumple in novel and unexpected ways, subverting traditional building norms.

From his own home in Santa Monica to the undu­lating Beekman Tower in New York, from the shining curves of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, and his most recent construction, Luma Arles, Gehry has left his indelible mark on the history of architectural design. Forty of the renowned architect’s most remarkable works are presented by architect and critic Jean-Louis Cohen, alongside views of the interiors and exteriors of each building. This tour includes many of Gehry’s works throughout the United States and abroad, such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the one-of-a-kind “Binoc­ulars Building” in Los Angeles, and the beloved “Dancing House” in Prague.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"In the context of Gehry's long career of around 180 completed projects, the number of 'masterpieces' is high; Cohen's book collects 38 such buildings spanning six decades, from 1961 to 2021." —A WEEKLY DOSE OF ARCHITECTURE

About the Author

Frank Gehry’s architecture has had the rare distinction of pleasing critics, academics, and the public alike. When he was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1989, Vanity Fair has called him “the most important architect of our age.” Jean-Louis Cohen is France’s most authoritative historian of twentieth-century architecture. He has published more than forty books and curated numerous architectural expositions. He is the Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture department at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts and holds a chair at the Collège de France.

2.0 out of 5 stars Huge Disappointment

I'd been waiting for a long time for a Gehry monograph like this one with coverage and photos of his greatest works. It has all of this except for a major deal breaker. Many of the photos of the "masterpieces" are spread over two facing pages and therefore have a page division going right down the middle. That makes it a complete waste of money. I am going to gift it to someone I don't like.

C'est un cadeau de moi à moi. Je connaissais déjà Frank Gehry, mais je voulais avoir un beau livre de son travail. Ce livre répond à toutes mes attentes. Superbes photographies et commentaires pertinents. Beaucoup d'information concernant le démarche créative. Cet homme est un génie.
