Maya Lin reads “Ghosts in the House”
Episode 12 of Private Life
In the October 21, 1999, issue of The New York Review of Books, Martin Filler wrote “Ghosts in the House,” about Frank Gehry’s life and work at the turn of the century, including the architect’s own house in Santa Monica, his celebrated Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. In this episode of Private Life, Filler’s essay is read by Maya Lin. Best known for designing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. while she was still an undergraduate student, Lin’s forty-year career has also included the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, and the landscape architecture project Wave Field in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
