‘It’s a love letter’: exhibition pays tribute to Frank Gehry’s lesser-known works

Although Frank Gehry is best known as a world famous architect with iconic creations such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, he also made art pieces. Springing out of his fascination with the fluidity of animal forms and creative properties inherent to various substances, Gehry created works including fish, bears, crocodiles and snakes.

As a celebration of Gehry, who died in 2025 at age 96, Gagosian now offers a suite of his non-architectural work, built mainly around the artist’s graceful play with the forms of fish. Simply titled Frank Gehry, it offers moments of beauty and whimsy in the gallery’s Beverly Hills space.
