Born February 28, 1929 in Toronto. American architect born in Canada. Full name: Frank Owen Gehry. Former name: Ephraim Owen Goldberg. Moved to the US in 1947, and enrolled in the University of Southern California School of the Arts in 1949 before switching to architecture and graduating in 1954. Studied urban planning at Harvard University from 1956 to 1957. After working at several design firms, he established his own design firm in Los Angeles in 1962, and has since been active mainly in California. As seen in his Villa Familien (1978) and his own house (1978, 1991-94), he became a pioneer of deconstructivism (→Constructivism) by eliminating consistent, self-contained forms and using cheap, common industrial materials. His other works include the California Aerospace Museum (1984), the Biitola Furniture Museum (1987), the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota (1990-93), the Guggenheim Museum of Art Bilbao (1991-97), and the Walt Disney Concert Hall (2003). In 1986-87, he completed the giant sculpture Fish Dance in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. He received the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1989, the National Medal of Arts in 1998, and the American Institute of Architecture Gold Medal in 1999. Gary |
