EPHEMERA (BROCHURES)

Ephemera: Items that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time, collectible memorabilia, typically written or printed, that was originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity.

While brochures hold little monetary value, their value lies in the momentary record they hold. A snapshot of events and information. A post-it note in time, that adds a valuable record to the history of events surrounding Frank Lloyd  Wright. Thousands were printed and given away. A handful remain.

1996 The First National Bank of Dwight, Dwight, Illinois.  Frank Lloyd Wright, Architect. (Published by The First National Bank of Dwight, Dwight, Illinois)  Inside: In The First National Bank of Dwight, Wright created a structure that has stood the test of time and remains virtually unchanged. Initially designed to house two separate businesses, it was remodeled in the 1950's to keep abreast with modern banking conditions and the growth of the institution. The major change was the lowering of the beamed skylight ceiling in order to install air conditioning. The oak trim was removed and much of the interior limestone was covered.
     In the 1960's, the bank was remodeled again to restore the buildings original character. The dividing partition was removed to allow the bank to occupy the entire space. The original plans were used to replace the oak trim and to recreate the skylight, which is now lit through electrical means. Wright believed there was a natural and honest truth in a building's materials, the exposed brickwork, the natural strength of oak and even the exposed pillars revealing the building's structure. As a molder of form and space, Wright experienced the relationship between architecture and surrounding nature as perhaps no other architect in history, so that his buildings seem to literally grow out of their environments. 11 x 8.5.

2004 Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. (Published by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.) "The Kaufmann Conservation on Bear Run. Fallingwater, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most widely acclaimed works, was designed in 1936 for the family of Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. The key to the setting of the house is the waterfall over which it is built. Historically, the falls were a focal point of the Kaufmanns’ activities, and the family indicated to Wright their desire to locate their weekend house near them. Much to their surprise, Wright designed the house to rise above the waterfall, rather than face it. The Kaufmanns adopted Wright’s original scheme with few changes... The best all-time work of American architecture... Unquestionably the most famous private residence ever built... Fallingwater has always been rightly considered one of the complete masterpieces of twentieth-century art... National Geographic Traveler designated ‘Place of a Lifetime’."
