perhaps it's the line from Gordon Matta-Clark to Frank Gehry that should be more recognized.

[and don't forget the line from Goldberg to Gehry]

guess where Matta-Clark hangs out these days...

Cenotaph of Gordon Matta-Clark
2004.04.20 20:14

Ever since All Saints Day 1994, i.e., a couple days after the world's largest building implosion, Gordon Matta-Clark has been 'living' within and around the quondam power-house of the imploded Sears and Roebuck Northeast Distribution Center.

cenotaph 1: an empty tomb or a monument erected in honor of a person who is buried elsewhere 2 : someplace inhabited by a spirit rather than by a body

Gordon and Otto never met until 1999, when Otto made a visit to Friends Hospital, the first psychiatric hospital of the United States, which is right across the Roosevelt Blvd. from Gordon's "cenotaph". Gordon and Otto instantly became best friends, and Otto especially likes how Gordon still manages to make Ludwig extremely nervous.
