Dating back to trips to the fish market in Toronto with his grandmother, Frank Gehry has always been interested in fish. He has called it "the perfect form." The undulating shape has informed much of his art and architecture including the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao Spain; the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago (2004); and the Marqués de Riscal Vineyard Hotel in Elciego, Spain (2006); as well as the Fish Sculpture at Vila Olímpica in Barcelona (1989-92) and Standing Glass Fish for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden (1986). The motif has also appeared in smaller-scale projects such as chairs and tables out of corrugated cardboard, a bentwood Knoll furniture series, and plastic laminate lamps. The present example, Fish and Wings is a unique work in sterling silver that Gehry designed for Tiffany & Co as part of larger collaboration of jewelry and decorative arts. The 2006 collection was comprised of six series named after recurring motifs in Gehry's work: Fish, Torque, Axis, Fold, Equus and Orchid.
