ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415290082

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415290081

Book Description:

An insightful examination of the social planning and the individual subjectivity of the architecture of Frank Gehry.

Frank Gehry: The City and Music is the result of a unique collaboration between the architect and leading critic

Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe. The book focuses on two projects, Gehry's unrealized proposal for the rehabilitation of Berlin's Museum Island and his soon to be completed Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles,while discussing other projects such as the Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Concord, California, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and the Experience Music Project in Seattle. Gehry's much debated relationship to Minimalist sculpture, uses of new building materials and attitude to tradition, are discussed with regard to his belief in architecture as a democratic practice which is at once practical and expressive.Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe is a painter and art critic,whose publications include Beauty and the Contemporary Sublime, Beyond Piety: Critical Essays on the Visual Arts 1986-1993, and Immanence and Contradiction: Recent Essays on the Artistic Device.He has been awarded National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in painting, and in 1998 was presented with the Frank Jewett Mather Award for Art Criticism by the College Art Association. He teaches in the graduate school at Art Center, Pasadena, California.

Light For Art’s Sake - Lighting For Artworks And Museum Displays

By Christopher Cuttle

Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann

Number Of Pages: 304

Publication Date: 2007-05-14

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0750664304

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780750664301

Book Description:

Conservation scientists in museums and galleries have a clear understanding of the damage that light can inflict on an object, but what of the designers that create exhibitions to display these precious items? Light for Arts Sake provides a basis for a level of professional expertise for lighting practice in museums. Rather than portraying conservation and display as having diametrically opposed objectives, the central concept is that the interaction of light and art media is the source for both the visual experience and the degradation of the artwork. Optimal solutions derive from understanding and controlling the interaction process, and the need is for the level of understanding among lighting professionals to be brought closer to that found among conservation scientists.

* Considers the conservation needs of an object in the context of the lighting design process

* Includes philosophical, conservation, and practical aspects of lighting design for museums and galleries

* Useful appendices provide details for easy access to materials and services discussed in the text
