This thesis is an inquiry into the debates about the relationships between architecture, painting, and sculpture. The survey focused on the twentieth century, during which the disciplines of art and architecture resumed a close relationship, taking into consideration the historical context. The interaction emerged with Beaux-Arts Schools, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau movements until 1900s, and continued with Deutscher Werkbund, Bauhaus and De Stijl during the early twentieth century / and, focused on Minimalist Art, which emerged in the 1960s in America with the concept of &ldquo / architectural sculpture&rdquo / . One of the architects who was influenced by the Minimalist artworks was Frank Gehry. His method of combining art with architecture was taken as the motive to choose Gehry&rsquo / s work as the case study. His striking forms contribute to the development of a final product as a large-scale urban sculpture and a style that is collectively referred to as &ldquo / sculptural architecture&rdquo / . How does Frank Gehry&rsquo / s architecture approach to the condition of art? This question underwent examination in order to shed light on the dialogue between art and architecture, as well as the professional relationships between creators in these fields. At this point, the discussion turned to the issue of collaboration through which artists and architects find the opportunity to design together. Examining the influence of artists on Frank Gehry, it is observed that, interactions with art affected him when he was developing his characteristic style and such collaboration enriched the final product and increased the potentials of independent disciplines.
