Trade paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Book is in Very Good+ condition. With the completion of the celebrated Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, architect Frank O. Gehry has entered the pantheon of twentieth-century masters. In this wholly unique new book, a condensed edition of the original volume of the same name, Gehry himself offers extensive and illuminating commentary on various aspects of the processes involved in developing his revolutionary designs, including his influences, clients, use of materials, and new technologies. Gehry Talks: Architecture + Process documents all of his new work of this decade, tracing his evolution from a southern California architect known for his idiosyncratic use of materials and collaboration with local artists, to an international figure whose fluid, hitherto undreamt-of forms surge beyond the aesthetic and technical constraints of the twentieth century.…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP, includes separate Erratum sheet. In English and French. This publication was produced to accompany Stephen Talasnik's solo exhibition, Panorama: Intimate Monolith at Battat Contemporary, Montréal, from September 7-- October 23, 2010. Beautiful, stylish book. As you can see, the covers are very clean and in top-notch condition, no issues that need to be called out. The page edges are perfectly clean. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover. This is no run-of-the-mill book. After the Introduction and Foreword in French you have a section of 8 fold-out black and white works. That's followed by two essays in French, and then there's a 16 page section of sculptures in color (4 are double-page). Then there's a six page section of drawings in black and white. And then there is another section of 7 fold-out black and white works. The book concludes with the Introduction, Foreword, and Essays in English, a two-page Bibliography, and an Acknowledgments page. The interior of the book is in very good condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. I didn't see any soiling at all. Two or three of the fold-outs have a small crease at their top corner, quite minor. There are no other creases. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket, the half-dust jacket, in the photos provided. It wraps around the inside covers. It's in very good shape with just a couple of speck-size scuffs on its top edge. 'In recent years, Mr. Talasnik's work has been added to the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the Pompidou (Paris), and the Whitney Museum of American Art (NY).'. …
