Frank Gehry 3


Frank has a Postmodernist architectural style he has showed that in most if his pieces like the Guggenheim Museum, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. He has worked with many people such as Arnold Shreir his mentor and the person who helped him create his first work, which was a house addition. He joined sculptures with Claes Oldenburg, Coosje Van Bruggen, and Richard Serra on an exhibition. He made friends with Gregory Walsh, Peter Eisenman, Kenny Price, Ed Moses, and Ron Davis. Frank felt like an “outcast” around his peers because he didn’t always do what they wanted but when he started receiving awards from them he felt apart of them.
Although Frank has built his reputation slowly he has gained a lot of respect and has accomplished many pieces of art work. Frank is viewed as a celebrity and has created many sculptures and buildings, he has showed several patterns using style and objects that he enjoys. A lot of his creations are based on his child hood nick- name “Fish”, which he uses often.
