Frank Gehry was America's most famous architect since Frank Lloyd Wright so there is a bitter irony neither man lived to see major museums they designed open to the public.

Lloyd Wright died just six months before the Guggenheim in New York opened and its Abu Dhabi outpost, designed by Gehry, is reported to open next year on Saadiyat Island.

Gehry, who died on Friday aged 96, already has one - transformational - Guggenheim building to his credit.

The success of his design for the Bilbao art museum went far beyond architecture helping transform the industrial city in Spain's Basque Country into a cultural destination.

It is said to have generated $400 million for the city's coffers and the "Bilbao effect" became shorthand for the economic power of the arts.

Away from those major projects, he also worked on a smaller scale renovating the Norton Simon Museum of Art and MOCA LA's Geffen Center in his adopted home city of Los Angeles.

A pair of armed robbers walked away with eight Matisse engravings after targeting an exhibition in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo.

The thieves held up a security guard and a couple visiting the show at the Mario de Andrade Library before making off with a haul that also included five works by Brazilian painter Candido Portinari.

It is unclear what the value is of the stolen items taken on Sunday - the last day of the show which was a collaboration with the city's Museum of Modern Art - but local reports say they included collages from his 1947 book Jazz.

The amount filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola's F.P. Journe wristwatch sold for at Phillips auction house in New York. By comparison, his latest film Megalopolis made $14.3 million in box office receipts around the world.

Tributes have been paid to photographer Martin Parr after his death aged 73.

Parr, who once said he made "serious photographs disguised as entertainment", established himself with a series of luridly colorful images of the British on holiday.

The Guardian said his work "made the mundane magnificent".

A former president of the Magnum Photos co-operative, he also set up his own foundation in his hometown of Bristol. An avid collector of photobooks his collection was acquired by Tate in 2017.

A show planned to open next month at the Jeu De Paume Paris, called Global Warning, will feature more than 180 pictures taken over half-a-century and runs from January 30 to May 24.
