(1)Frank Gehry was an american architect born on the 28th of February, 1929. Frank Gehry was an architect that looked towards 'modernist' and 'avant garde' architecture.
(2)"The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao by Frank Gehry was probably the most often mentioned new building of 1998 and 1999 in architecture circles. The composition continues a curvaceous, free-form sculptural style that has become a Gehry signature. The abstract, free-form components of this style were present in the early Gehry house, and a similarly sleek curvaceous cladding was displayed in the sculptural fish of the Fishdance Restaurant."(3)
'Guggenheim Museum', located in Bilbao, Spain, was completed in 1997. Gehry designed the museum through sketches, as he did in all his past works, but through technology was he able to achieve "eccentric shapes, sweeping irregular curves that were the antithesis of the severely rectilinear International Style."(4)
