Overview

The catalogue raisonné of Frank Gehry’s drawings offers an extensive overview of his work, exemplifying the style of one of the most expressive architects of our era. It includes sketches and studies from Gehry’s portfolio, accompanied by photographs of completed maquettes and structures. The catalogue also presents insightful texts, high-quality images of individual works, preparatory drawings, along with details about provenance, exhibitions, and bibliographies. Widely regarded as one of the world's most influential living architects, Gehry's brilliance is evident in his drawings—artworks in their own right—that evolved from paper concepts to tangible, post-structuralist structures, transforming our visual environment. The second volume spans from the experimental Wagner Malibu Residence (1978 unbuilt) to the Borman residence in Malibu (1983). This period, marked by rapid shifts in Gehry’s design approach and architecture language, is reflected in the sketches and his initial engagement with digital 3D drawing techniques.
