Frank Gehry’s addition to the Art Gallery of Ontario is doomed to be a disappointment, says Christopher Hume, because Toronto has always refused to view Gehry as an architect when it can view him as a home-grown celebrity instead. “Not that Gehry’s famous for being famous anywhere outside of Toronto. In some cities, he’s famous for his buildings. Indeed, in some cities, his buildings are more famous than their creator. It’s enough to make you feel sorry for the man. Sure, he’s a celebrity, but he’s also an architect, a great architect even. Even if it turns out brilliantly, the AGO addition was always too limited to give Gehry, the architect, the scope to do something major, something spectacular.”
