Join us to celebrate the long-awaited publication of Frank Gehry: Catalogue Raisonné of the Drawings Volume One, 1954–1978 published by Cahiers d’Art, Paris. This catalog—the first of eight planned volumes that will critically present the entire oeuvre of Toronto-born, Los Angeles–based architect Frank Gehry (born 1929) using his sketches as the primary graphic material—includes texts and high-quality images of individual works and preparatory drawings to explores the beginning of Gehry’s conceptual thinking and his progression from paper architecture to poststructuralism. This first catalogue raisonné of drawings was written by architecture scholar Jean-Louis Cohen in direct collaboration with Gehry.

Frank Gehry will be in conversation with editor and writer Jean-Louis Cohen, moderated by Staffan Ahrenberg, Cahiers d’Arts publisher.

Reception to follow.
