ARTFUL ARCHITECTURE: THE GETTY CENTER AND THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO
Modern museums are nearly as artistic as the art that they house. In part one of this program, correspondent Jeffrey Kaye discusses the Getty Center's design with architect Richard Meier, architecture critic Leon Whiteson, and Los Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight. In addition, Kaye examines the Center's manuscript and photograph collections, educational outreach program, and role in worldwide art preservation. In part two, journalist Elizabeth Farnsworth talks with Frank Gehry about the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao's remarkably innovative design. Gehry's efforts to reconcile the museum with the striking local topography and heritage led to the creation of a titanium -clad, ship -like gallery combined with a "village of shapes." Critics are unified in their praise, calling the museum an architectural miracle of major significance.
