Space Framed Richard Gluckman Architect

"In such highly effective conversions as the Dia Center for the Arts (1987, with additions in 1992 and 1997) in New York and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh (1994), Gluckman excels in transforming disused warehouses or industrial buildings into handsomely proportioned, easily accessible, well-lighted and flexible display space....For all his success, Gluckman, at 53, seems troubled by his typecasting as the world's leading specialist in turning existing structures into art galleries. 'I did not set out to become a museum architect or a renovation architect,' he writes plaintively. 'I wanted to be an architect.' That he assuredly is, as well as a true colleague of the artists whom his own work honors."Foster, Hal is the author of 'Space Framed Richard Gluckman Architect' with ISBN 9781580930451 and ISBN 158093045X.
