So long, Frank Gehry, and thanks for all the fish!
(We have our own blinding architectural landmark on the east bank of the river at the University of Minnesota.)
'With the advent of new computer technologies, Mr. Gehry’s work became increasingly sculptural. For the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, he designed a monumental fish sculpture using software developed for the French aerospace industry. It was one of a number of massive sculptures he created, including the 1986 “Standing Glass Fish” at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis (where he would go on to design a 1993 building clad in faceted steel plates that resembled tinfoil) and the 1987 “Fish Dance” in Kobe, Japan.'
