Lee McQueen was often inspired by the arts – in multiple forms. His inspiration could very well have been derived from Gehry, who often manipulates steel, wood and even layers of cardboard into sensuality as if they were fabric.

McQueen, who shaped and drew and cut fabric as his artist’s material of choice, cannot be replaced in this life.

His works may not have the physical solidity of a building or structure, but they will certainly be housed in museums for thousands of years to come – maybe even those museums designed by Mr. Gehry.
