Last week she performed in L.A. at a benefit for the financially troubled Museum of Contemporary Art, wearing a hat designed by Frank Gehry, at the behest of Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli. Ultimately, none other than Prada made Gehry's sketch a reality. Gehry explains: "Since I’ve never designed...

Will Modern Architecture Age Well?

A continuum of design (Free subscription) | yesterday

For quite a long time "new" and "modern" were values in and of themselves. Nevertheless many voices did not agree at all with that, especially as regards "modern architecture." Prince Charles among many others accused modern architecture of being "all stumps and carbuncles." And it's quite true that the market value of many modern architecture houses is low as...

Basques of the net: Bilbao's iconic football team

The Independent (Free subscription) | 11/21/2009

The picture that shows you what makes Bilbao tick cannot be found in the Guggenheim. For all its undeniable magnificence, the Frank Gehry-designed gallery that rises sleekly beside the Nervió*River does not contain the famous photo of the celebrations after Athletic Club, the city's football team, won the Spanish league and cup double in 1984 (without the help of the hand of God). To find that,...

Frank Gehry Will Wait to Ascend His Own Tower

The Daily Transom (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009

At a topping-off ceremony for his Beekman Tower yesterday, 80-year old architect Frank Gehry took to the podium and made one of those slightly randy jokes that men can get away with when they're 80. Mr. Gehry pointed his finger upright toward the 76-tower residential complex and bluntly proclaimed: "No Viagra." Mr. Gehry said he will wait awhile to see the view from what will eventually...
