Gagosian Beverly Hills has announced the first exhibition of Frank Gehry’s work since the legendary architect’s death in December. Opening May 14, the show pivots away from his architectural legacy to focus on his sculptural practice, specifically his animal-themed works. Highlights include the stainless steel sculpture "Bear with Us" (2014), on loan from the Gehry family, alongside his signature fish and snake lamps and late-career copper sculptures.
This exhibition serves as both a commercial presentation and a memorial tribute, curated by Gehry’s long-time collaborators Deborah McLeod and Meaghan Lloyd. By highlighting his "Baroque" evolution in sculpture and showcasing rarely seen personal pieces, the gallery aims to provide a space for the art community to process the loss of a visionary whose influence spanned both the built environment and the fine arts.
