Item Description
Frank Gehry Wiggle stool. Made of corrugated cardboard and hardboard to the edges. Labeled underneath, excellent condition. Frank Gehry is considered one of the most influential architects of the late 20th century. During the early period of his independent practice he developed close associations with the artists of the Venice and Santa Monica art scene, particularly Edward Kienholz, Robert Irwin, and Ed Ruscha. Gehry came to national attention with his Easy Edges furniture line, made of corrugated cardboard and fiberboard and including the Easy Edges Body Contour Rocker (1971) and the 1970 and 1972 editions of the Easy Edges Side Chair. But it was not until the rebuilding of his own house that his reputation as an experimental avant-garde architect was established. Using common home-building materials such as corrugated aluminum, unfinished plywood, and chain-link fence, he was able to create rich, interlocking spaces. He received the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the most prestigious international award given in architecture, in 1989.
