“LA gave Gehry inspiration and permission to be the artist and architect he is. Preserving his legacy allows us to study and appreciate the work of a genius who commands the attention of artists, architects, urbanists, and anyone who loves cities and the buildings that make them,” said Getty President and CEO James Cuno.

The Getty Research Institute contains Mr. Gehry’s archive, including architectural models that were on view during the event.

“What I’m planning to do is to keep working—till my 100th birthday,” said Mr. Gehry
