"Art, Architecture and Ideas: Frank Gehry and Robert Tannen" at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum
to
Ohr-O'Keefe Museum 386 Beach Boulevard, Biloxi, Mississippi 39530
Frank Gehry is regarded as one of the most influential architects of his generation, with many of the buildings he designed (among which is the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum in Biloxi) becoming elevated to international attractions. Meanwhile sculptor, painter, and urban planner Robert Tannen's work has had a massive impact on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where he developed a masterplan for the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Camille; and in New Orleans, where he founded the Contemporary Arts Center and planned the second span of the Mississippi River Bridge. An exhibition on display at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum honors the creative legacies of both artists, as well as the late potter George Ohr. The Museum will be open for a special viewing of the exhibition from 10 am–5 pm on April 13. Details at georgeohr.org/exhibition/gehry_tannen.
