From Wiki
Frank Owen Gehry, CC (born Ephraim Owen Goldberg, February 28, 1929) is a Pritzker Prize winning architect based in Los Angeles, California.
His buildings, including his private residence, have become tourist attractions. Many museums, companies, and cities seek Gehry’s services as a badge of distinction, beyond the product he delivers.
His best known works include the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis, Dancing House in Prague, Czech Republic, and his private residence in Santa Monica, California, which jump-started his career, lifting it from the status of “paper architecture”, a phenomenon which many famous architects have experienced in their formative decades through experimentation almost exclusively on paper before receiving their first major commission in later years.
We have an abandoned building behind our office, and it’s the occasional target of gang-related graffiti. One of our employees returned from lunch today and noticed it was the subject of yet another graffiti artist. This artist however may be an architect, or an architect in-training. I don’t think Matt Kelty has enough free time to be the culprit.

Below is the graffiti behind our building.
Unlike traditional graffiti, instead of using spray cans of paint this was accomplished using a brush.
