About the Item

Framed individual plates from this series can be found on the market for $1000 each. This booklet includes 96 plate lithographs. Measures: 25.75" H x 16" W, circa 1963. Frank Lloyd Wright is certainly America's most famous architect and can lay claim to being America's most important artist of the 20th century. His career spanned over 60 years and spawned a series of masterpieces starting with his early 1900's Prairie style houses and ending in 1959 with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. He is by all accounts a modern master. Wright's early work, his Prairie period and first Golden Age, is arguably his most important and includes many of his finest masterpieces including Chicago's Robie House. His use of natural materials, open floor plans, low pitched roofs, and stained glass windows became a signature that defined his early career. These houses were innovative, modern, and a welcome break from the more classical architectural forms that dominated the suburbs of the midwest. At a young age, Wright established himself as a visionary architect and an inventor of a new American style of design.
