Reviews
Positions the architect as a consummate innovator -- not outside of history, but very much of his time, with ideas that resonate still., It is always the year of Frank Lloyd Wright, so monumentally does he loom over American architecture., remarkable... a fresh age in Wright scholarship... shows that Wright's long career, as multidimensional and accomplished as that of almost any architect in history, was richer and more complex than even admiring critics knew., Clearly written and tightly focused... this hefty volume would be a nice library addition for general readers curious about American urban history., He was the man called 'the Michelangelo of the 20th century' by the architect Eero Saarinen, so it's no surprise that 150 years after his birth, the work of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright still provides plenty to unpack., The words 'American architect' feel a little bare when applied to Wright--convention pushes for the addition of a superlative, such as 'greatest' or 'best loved.', Buildings are dynamic things, not static objects. A look through Wright's archive reminds us that some will exist only in our imaginations, some will be lived in exactly as they were first designed, and others will be destroyed or altered beyond recognition.
Synopsis
Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue reveals new perspectives on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, a designer so prolific and familiar as to nearly preclude critical reexamination. Structured as a series of inquiries into the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives, the book is a collection of scholarly explorations rather than an attempt to construct a master narrative. Each chapter centers on a key object from the archive that an invited author has "unpacked"-interpreting and contextualizing it, tracing its meanings and connections, and juxtaposing it with other works from the archive, from MoMA, or from outside collections. The publication aims to open up Wright's work to questions, interrogations, and debates, and to highlight interpretations by contemporary scholars, both established Wright experts and others considering this iconic figure from new and illuminating perspectives., Unpacking Wright's archive of more than two million objects, on the 150th anniversary of the master architect's birth Published for a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this catalog reveals new perspectives on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, a designer so prolific and familiar as to nearly preclude critical reexamination. Structured as a series of inquiries into the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives at Taliesin West, Arizona (recently acquired by MoMA and Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University), the book is a collection of scholarly explorations rather than an attempt to construct a master narrative. Each chapter centers on a key object from the archive that an invited author has "unpacked"-- tracing its meanings and connections, and juxtaposing it with other works from the archive, from MoMA, or from outside collections. Wright's quest to build a mile-high skyscraper reveals him to be one of the earliest celebrity architects, using television, press relations and other forms of mass media to advance his own self-crafted image. A little-known project for a Rosenwald School for African-American children, together with other projects that engage Japanese and Native American culture, ask provocative questions about Wright's positions on race and cultural identity. Still other investigations engage the architect's lifelong dedication to affordable and do-it-yourself housing, as well as the ecological systems, both social and environmental, that informed his approach to cities, landscapes and even ornament. The publication aims to open up Wright's work to questions, interrogations and debates, and to highlight interpretations by contemporary scholars, both established Wright experts and others considering this iconic figure from new and illuminating perspectives.

- b***s (3)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGreat seller - book was shipped out promptly (same day!), in great condition (as described), and was well packaged. Book ordered was a vintage paperback, and the seller cut a piece of cardboard to protect it from being bent in transit, which I really appreciate. Great deal for a hard to find book, as well, even with shipping cost. Will absolutely order from this seller again in future.
