Stefan Sagmeister's Frank Gehry poster for TEDMED 2009

1 of 70 total posters for TEDMED in 2009; in Sagmeister's signature style of a close-up picture of a person's face with biographical details lettered on top of it. In this case it's Frank Gehry 's face with a quote.

It snowed a lot last night: this is a photo of my wife driving her Jeep out the driveway thru 6” of new snow. The shame will feel for that one set of tore tracks.. worse than the dandelion shame in spring!
