RiverSide Reflections

Reflections, Weisman Art Museum, designed by Frank Gehry (1993 and 2011), University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN

I have to admit, I am not a fan of Frank Gehry designs. And I am not a fan of where the University of Minnesota stuck the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum Gehry designed. It is out-of-sync with the Art Deco student union and the 1940 dormitory it sits between. Because it hangs on the edge of a bluff overlooking River Road and the Mississippi River, it does catch unobstructed reflections from the sky and the Washington Avenue Bridge, which crosses the Mississippi River. The actual reflections on the brushed stainless steel panels are more subtle. I enhanced them for dramatic effect.
