From what we’ve seen at dundas and mccaul stretching out towards the west is a beautiful, grand structure comprised of wood, steel and glass that is the new face of the AGO. Inside the gallery is a whole other look on it’s own. We owe it to Frank Gehry for utilizing his talent and panache, recreating the AGO and leaving an imprint in this city that we can all truly appreciate and admire.

“It is fitting that the 70-year-old Frank Gehry ended up re-envisioning the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) for his native city of Toronto. As a boy, Gehry visited the AGO often, and the effect of those visits on him and his future career was important. Gehry has lived most of his life in the U.S., but the AGO remake allows Toronto to reap some of the benefits of his massive talent before it’s all too late.”

Wicked stuff, Mr. Gehry
