Gehry in a Box
You’d have to pay thousands of dollars to sit in your own Frank Gehry–designed Experimental Edges club chair, but Frank Gehry: On Line, a new title from the Princeton University Art Museum ($29.95), comes in a similarly constructed corrugated-cardboard case and can be had for a much smaller price. The book collects the last 20 years of the architect’s hand drawings and accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the museum. Sure, it’s less comfy than the chair, but it’s just as structurally sound.
