Frank Gehry rose to prominence in the 1970s with his distinctive style that blended everyday materials with complex, dynamic structures. Gehry is known for his postmodern designs and use of bold, unconventional forms and materials. His most famous works include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, and the National Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington D.C. Throughout his career, Gehry has received numerous awards and honors, including the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1989, considered the field's highest honor. He has also been awarded the National Medal of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the United States. 

"If you look at a great work of art in bronze from 600 B.C. and it makes you cry, some artist way back when were able to transmit emotion through time and space over years to today," Gehry says. He believes architecture can do that, too. - NPR 

"Robert Tannen's art has always circled the idea of disaster. Sometimes his sculptures have a practical application: together with Frank Gehry, Tannen designed a form of modular emergency housing based on shotgun-house building blocks. In other cases, Tannen’s sculptures have taken the form of obtuse, awkwardly placed objects that force the viewer to ask difficult questions. -Matilda Bathurst for ARTnews Magazine 

“People are often looking over their shoulders worried about their place in the pecking order, but Tannen doesn’t do that,” Gehry says. “Approval doesn’t seem to be important to him.” -Kristine McKenna Los Angeles Times 

“I (Frank Gehry) don’t think you have to spend egregious amounts of money to make buildings that are good for the community, good for our world, that are interesting, and that are humanly accessible,” he says. “I don’t think you have to pay a lot extra. You just have to want to do it.” - Time Magazine
