Frank O. Gehry
No building was more anticipated than Frank Gehry's stunning new museum in Bilbao, an industrial city in the Basque Country of northern Spain. Philip Johnson, the dean of American architects, declared it "the greatest building of our time," while Sverre Fehn, winner of the 1997 Pritzker Architecture Prize, called the building "fantastic." Gehry's use of nontraditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments of his buildings is legendary; his method of envisioning a building through semiautomatic drawings and handmade models is little known, but provides an immediate entry into his creative process. This book celebrates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details its design process, bringing to life one of Gehry's greatest achievements. Coosje van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she uncovers scores of fascinating drawings and working photographs, published here for the first time.
The Guggenheim Mystery
My name is Ted Spark. I am 12 years and 281 days old. I have seven friends. Three months ago, I solved the mystery of how my cousin Salim disappeared from a pod on the London Eye. This is the story of my second mystery. This summer, I went on holiday to New York, to visit Aunt Gloria and Salim. While I was there, a painting was stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works. Everyone was very worried and upset. I did not see what the problem was. I do not see the point of paintings, even if they are worth £9.8 million. Perhaps that's because of my very unusual brain, which works on a different operating system to everyone else's. But then Aunt Gloria was blamed for the theft - and Aunt Gloria is family. And I realised just how important it was to find the painting, and discover who really had taken it.
The Guggenheim Collection
Originally, Solomon R. Guggenheim donated works from his collection to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which he began in 1937 to support and promote non-objective art. Then, in 1939, he established the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which was renamed the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1952, and its signature Frank Lloyd Wright building opened on New York's Fifth Avenue in 1959. Over time, the Guggenheim has expanded the type of art that it exhibits and collects through the addition of other great collections - notably, those of Karl Nierendorf, Peggy Guggenheim, Justin and Hilde Thannhauser, and Giuseppe Panza di Biumo - as well as through opportunities that resulted from the insti...
New Images from Spain
El 21 de marzo de 1980 se inauguraba en The Solomon R. Guggenheim de Nueva York la muestra colectiva New Images from Spain. Su comisaria, Margit Rowell, había visitado durante los dos años anteriores cerca de un centenar de estudios de jóvenes artistas a lo largo de la geografía española, entre los cuales escogió a una decena para organizar una exposición dedicada a nuestra escena artística. La selección final contaba con obras de Sergi Aguilar, Carmen Calvo, Teresa Gancedo, Antoni Muntadas/Germán Serrán Pagán, Miquel Navarro, Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Jordi Teixidor, Darío Villalba, Zush y José Luis Alexanco (presentes todos ellos en la Colección Josep Suñol), algunos de los cuales habían tenido la oportunidad de exponer previamente en la galería Vandrés de Fernando Vijande, con quien Josep Suñol estableció una de las relaciones entre coleccionismo y galerismo más interesantes del momento.
