University of Toronto

In the world of architecture, there are few stars who shine as brightly as Toronto-born Frank Gehry. The upcoming show at U of T, which will complement a related show running concurrently at the Art Gallery of Ontario, will show why such acclaim is warranted. Frank’s Drawings: Eight Museums by Gehry, running from Feb. 18 to June 17 at the U of T Art Centre, will be the first exhibition in two decades devoted exclusively to his drawings. It will include 49 original pen-on-paper works depicting eight museum projects designed by him including the redesign of the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem, the Museum of Biodiversity in Panama City and, of course, his signature piece, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.
