Architect Charles Gwathmey
The addition to the Guggenheim Museum
Charles Gwathmey, part of a generation of architects who put their own aesthetic stamp on the "high Modernist" style, died on August 3. He was known both for residential work -- he built houses for Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jerry Seinfeld -- and sometimes controversial public buildings. To me he represented one of my main inspirations and motivation to study Architecture and become an Architect.
RIP

Be nice, be proactive, be positive and yes you can be a bit naughty. Negativity, tackiness and insecurity will get you nowhere in the ART World!
