Its funny, you and I have almost exactly the same view of Gehry.
What do you think of stuff like the binoiculars?
I think it defines him as more of a sculptor... a stylist prhaps and certainly a conceptualist. I found it odd that the Disney Concert Hall was so praised by musicians... But I do have to say that the Ice rink does look good to me even if I have no idea how it functions.
Is Gehry just another manifestation of the cult(ure) of celebrity? The Paris Hilton of architecture?
In the film he comments that during the 80s (his comment although it could only be very early 80s at most), post-modernists decided to re-work Grek temples (ok I will accept that as a shorthand description) whereas he thought that if you went back through history looking for inspiration you could/should go back through evolution and that was how he came up with the various "fish"-things.
Sounds to me like he has never really gone beyond post-modernism.
Now with a successful practice and pesumably lafgre(ish) staff payroll its possibly too late to turn the juggarnaut.
Whatever happened to Michael Graves?
What would a Frank Gehry Alessi coffee set loot like? Crumpled plastic cups cast in silver?
Oh, I hope he didn't do one of that series...
