Frank Gehry is world’s most famous living architect. His extraordinary designs for the Bilbao, Spain Guggenheim Museum,  the Disney Concert Hall in L.A. and the Weisman Art Museum in Minnesota are admired for their unique and wildly curved forms and original use of materials. He has even been on an episode of The Simpsons! But Gehry is a very private and shy person, uncomfortable in crowds and therefore difficult to know as a person. Tonight on Inquiry, we talk with writer, lecturer and reporter BARBARA ISENBERG who has known Gehry for decades. Isenberg interviewed Frank Gehry over a number of years, and these free-ranging interviews offer the first intimate portrait of this amazing artist and architect.  Tune in and find out how Gehry came up with his designs; how one of his designs became known as the “Fred and Ginger” building and why Gehry thinks titanium is “buttery”. Barbara Isenberg’s book is titled CONVERSATIONS WITH FRANK GEHRY.
