Frank Gehry: Cards
Accented with silver leaf, this playful and sculptural print by Frank Gehry depicts four playing-card soldiers from Lewis Carroll’s 1865 classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, each screenprinted in multiple colors, laser cut, and collaged onto museum board. Part of a set of ten themed editioned prints published by Gemini G.E.L., it was first exhibited in 2022 at the Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles alongside Wishful Thinking (2021), an immersive installation that renders the Mad Hatter’s tea party as a group of eleven surreal figures, twice life-size, fashioned from brilliantly painted metal. The crumpled surfaces of these forms establish a new visual connection with some of Gehry’s best-known architectural designs.
