Dream Ship
Bilbao, Spain 2018
64 x 15 x 3
SOLD
A testament to faith in a dream.
The economy of Bilbao was depressed, its shipyards abandoned.
In an unusual move, the locals chose to raise their taxes to pay for a museum, hoping that art would revive their struggling economy.
It worked.
Frank Gehry designed the undulating curves of the Guggenheim Museum’s titanium-clad walls to honor the ships once fabricated on the site.
And now over a million people visit this sculptural structure yearly which is the largest architectural project in the world to come in under budget and on time.

Though challenged, the Cuban people and their architecture prove resilient.

and bring hope.
