Frank Gehry’s renovation of the Art Gallery in his hometown looks like his best work in a few years.  He very subtly creates a dialog between the old and the new buildings.  The fantastic staircase that connects the older building to the newer galleries is a great example of this.  Just when I thought he’d become the architectural equivalent of Al Pacino, he’s re-asserted his greatness.  Even the typically dour Ouroussoff is quite taken with the work.
