The Getty acquires Frank Gehry archive

Thirty years of papers, models, sketches and other material from the work files of world-renowned architect Frank Gehry have been acquired by The Getty Research Institute, part purchase and part gift.

If you live in Toronto, you’ve seen the Canadian-born, LA-based architect’s work, notably in his renovation of the Art Gallery of Ontario.  His visionary buildings are striking structures and many have become must-visit destinations – including the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

It’s impossible to cover Gehry’s achievements in one short post, so have a look at this Architectural Digest piece on his famous designs.  The material going to The Getty includes models for private homes, such as the Norton House (above).
