FRANK GEHRY: 1929-2025⁠ ⁠ A globally-celebrated master of architecture, Frank Gehry was also an accomplished artist and designer. During his career, which spanned over five decades, he utilized pioneering new technologies and complex materials across his architectural and artistic works. Art and architecture, for Gehry, had much to say to one another, and he often engaged in one form in such a way as to illuminate its parallels with the other. ⁠ ⁠ Gehry's 2014 sculpture "Bear with Us," playfully named after the subject of the work, is constructed of stainless steel which mimics the jagged, reflective effects of a creased aluminum sheet. While the form this work takes is highly conceptual, the resulting piece is unmistakably ursine, showcasing the artist's capacity to create stunning-yet-wholly-recognizable structures from uncommon media. ⁠ ⁠ At his best, Gehry expands our conception of what art, sculpture, design, and architecture can be when approached with a spirit of invention and play.⁠ ⁠ "Bear with Us" (2014) is on view in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at @neworleansmuseumofart.⁠ ⁠ __⁠ 🎨: Frank Gehry, "Bear with Us," (2014).
