On the Good Ship Lollipop - Frank O. Gehry's Fondation Louis Vuitton

Description

Three outsanding representatives of different generations of art history have together paid a visit to the Fondation Louis Vuitton. They explore the building in three richly illustrated essays that try to fathom the floating architecture of the "magician" Gehry in the context of both art and architectural history. Frank O. Gehry's dynamic architecture is both glittering and multifaceted: is it a sailing vessel, an iceberg, or a sea monster? It fascinates with its wealth of references and, at the same time, ecapes any clear-cut definition.
