Goldberger follows Gehry from his humble origins--the son of working-class Jewish immigrants in Toronto--to the heights of his extraordinary career. He explores Gehry's relationship to Los Angeles, a city that welcomed outsider artists and profoundly shaped him in his formative years. He surveys the full range of his work, from the Bilbao Guggenheim to the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A. to the architect's own home in Santa Monica, which galvanized his neighbors and astonished the world. He analyzes his carefully crafted persona, in which an amiable surface masks a driving ambition. And he discusses his use of technology, not just to change the way a building looks, but to revolutionize the very practice of the field. Comprehensive and incisive, \u003ci\u003eBuilding Art\u003c\/i\u003e is a sweeping view of a singular artist--and an essential story of architecture's modern era. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Goldberger, a contributing editor at \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair, \u003c\/i\u003espent fifteen years as the architecture critic for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and began his career at\u003ci\u003e The New York Times, \u003c\/i\u003ewhere he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism for his writing on architecture.
