Frank Gehry's Untitled (London I) does more than build form, the sculpture redefines it, bending structure until it breathes and moves. Born from the tension between the rigid and the fluid, a contrast that defined Gehry’s practice since the late 1970s, this sculpture speaks in a language of movement and fracture, of construction caught on the edge of deconstruction. The artist and architect very sadly passed away in December 2025, as this work was on view in our exhibition, leaving behind an immense legacy that will influence artists and designers for generations.

Frank Gehry’s fascination with fish dated back to childhood, when his grandmother would bring home a live carp each week, letting it swim in the bathtub before preparing it for gefilte fish. But Gehry’s connection to the form extended beyond family memory. The architect and designer described the fish as “the perfect form” and “a complete vocabulary,” a recurring motif that embodied his experimental approach to structure and movement. His iconic fish lamps, first created in 1983, traced the evolution of this fascination, culminating in works like Untitled (London I), 2013, where fluidity and form converge in light.‍‍
