And its interiors underscore one of the most underrated dimensions of Mr. Gehry’s immense talent: a supple feel for context and an ability to balance exuberance with [...]
With the recession in full swing, the upcoming year will undoubtedly be a difficult one for the arts.

I’ve reproduced two preview images [one above and below], but you’ll want to shoot an email off to to privatecirculation[at]gmail[dot]com to [...]
