Building Art: Paul Goldberger on Frank Gehry

For many, Frank Gehry is considered the most important living architect. To Chicagoans, his undulating Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park is at the very heart of our city. Paul Goldberger, a contributing editor on architecture at "Vanity Fair" and author of "Why Architecture Matters," finds that understanding Gehry’s work and personal story holds undeniable appeal. In "Building Art," Goldberger looks to the man’s immigrant grandparents, two marriages, and even his longtime therapist, to provide a context for his audacious and impressive structures. Architecture critic Lee Bey joins him for a conversation.
