Great photos and interesting writing

I found this book at the Indianapolis Institute of Arts. The author does a fine job of surveying Gehry's career and accomplishments. The reader is also offered some additional GENERAL information on various influencing architects, and architectual syles and/or movements. While the text is concise, it is truly unpretentious. The photographs are splendid, especially those showing his masterpiece, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. While this is not a full treatise on the works and influence of Gehry's career, it is exactly as the title suggests: it offers the essentials of Gehry's artistry and mastery.

The Essentials Series.
In the architectural wilderness of the modern age, 71-year-old Frank O. Gehry stands out for his incredibly inventive buildings-from the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles to the recent Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. This portrait of one of the hottest cultural icons of our day examines Gehry's life and work-and his continuing search for new forms and new means of architectural expression.
