The organization of the artist is a method used by architect Frank Gehry that places the artist in control of the design throughout a building construction and deliberately eliminates the influence of politicians and business people on design.
Gehry enforces this organizational set-up when his designs are being built to avoid subordination of the design creator and to manage the project effectively.
Gehry argues that the organization of the artist, in addition to making possible artistic integrity, also helps keep his buildings on time and budget, which is rare for the type of innovative and complex designs that Gehry is known for.
In other projects Gehry has been less successful in enforcing the organization of the artist.
For the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles (1989–2003) there was much interference from business and political interests, which caused large delays and cost overruns and an attempt to oust Gehry from the project.
