I think the Times should be very embarrassed. They have just published something called THE 25 MOST SIGNIFICANT WORKS OF POSTWAR ARCHITECTURE. Of course any list like this is silly. And we can always quibble about I.M. Pei or Eero Saarinen's absence or The Kimball. But to leave out Frank Gehry is inexcusable. Most significant? You don't have to like Gehry or his work but you cannot deny that he and it changed the course of architecture. Really, one hopes someone higher up at the Times issues an apology. If you want to be the newspaper of record, you do not let historical gaffes like this stand.
Am I upset? Yup. Sheesh!
