Frank Gehry: Hatter
This playful multicolored screen print by Frank Gehry depicts the Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll’s 1865 classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Part of a set of ten themed editioned prints published by Gemini G.E.L., it was first exhibited in 2022 at Gehry’s 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 Wishful Thinking’s figures establish a new visual connection with some of Gehry’s best-known architectural designs.
