AGO forges on with Gehry

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2004 / April 1

The Art Gallery of Ontario and architect Frank Gehry are working on design changes to preserve more of the Joey and Toby Tanenbaum atrium. "Frank and I have been talking about refining details before we get locked into a final design," Matthew Teitelbaum, the gallery's CEO, said yesterday. "We're engaged in discussions about the issues raised by Joey. Of course I am sympathetic to the concerns of a donor who feels his space has been so altered he can't relate to it." But at a meeting yesterday called to consider Tanenbaum's complaints, the AGO trustees decided to forge ahead with the $190 million "transformation AGO" project Gehry designed.
