The Gagosian Gallery’s Madison Avenue location has recently opened an exhibition of Frank Gehry artworks titled Ruminations. 

On view until April 6th, the gallery will be showing recent works Gehry’s team says are in dialog with the architect’s engagements with fluid aquatic animal forms that date to an inspirational early-80s commission with the Formica Corporation.

Notably, the show features the East Coast debut of Gehry’s "Crocodile Lamp" sculpture besides selected works on paper and other elaborations on the animal theme.

Ruminations follows the 2021 exhibition Spinning Tales, which was staged by the Gagosian in Los Angeles. This is the chance for fans of the architect to get an up-close look at a concept that is foundational to his design process. Gehry has said in the past: "I decided the fish was the model for the future of architecture because it expressed sculptural movement."

The illuminated sculptures featured in the exhibition are made from Formica and copper materials and hang from the ceiling in the gallery's ground-floor room, surrounded by the "Crocodile Lamp" that was made last year and two other freestanding groupings of work placed on top of handmade wood bases. Drawings made using ink, watercolor, and acrylic on paper join these sculptures to further underscore the architectural dynamics inherent in piscine forms.

Gehry, who turns 95 later this month, is in the midst of another productive year creatively, debuting a new handbag collection for Louis Vuitton at Art Basel Miami Beach and a seaside restaurant concept for celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck in Malibu.

His new Colburn School expansion also announced its impending groundbreaking earlier this week in downtown LA. His firm is also working on his tallest-ever Forma towers project in his hometown Toronto for the year 2028.
