Description: “Introduction. As we approach the 21st Century and the 100th Anniversary of the Arts & Crafts Movement in America, we have witnessed the emergence of Limbert, Lifetime and Stickley Brothers furniture makers to a significant place in the world of collecting. The interest in the designs by makers from this period has rivaled that of any in the antique world. Comparatively, the Arts & Crafts market is a recent phenomenon with much scholarly research being done regarding both the social and artistic aspects, but collectors are also looking for sources to help determine the value of their pieces. Many people question why similar forms can vary greatly in price and, understandably, they are looking for answers...”

Title: American Art Deco (Hard Cover - DJ) (Published by World Publication Group, Inc., North Dighton, MA) Two Copies.

Author: Weber, Eva

Description: Publisher’s description: "Art deco is a distinctive modernist style that took its name from the Exposition Internationale des Art Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes held in Paris in 1925. The popularity of art deco during the 1920s and 1930s influenced modernist designers in many fields: ceramics, textiles, interiors, glassware, furniture, as well as architecture.
       Many of art deco's greatest practitioners worked in several media to produce exuberant buildings with seductive art deco interiors. Frank Lloyd Wright, Ely Jacques Kahn, and Eliel Saarinen were just a few of the architects who produced bold and vital art deco designs. This volume exquisitely reproduced the rich heritage of art deco design, from Sidney Waugh's glassware for Steuben Glass and Grant Wood's paintings to Donald Deskey's interiors in Radio City Music Hall and William Van Alen's Chrysler Building.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright: Art Collector. Secessionist Prints From The Turn of The Century (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by the University of Texas Press, Austin)

Author: Alofsin, Anthony

Description: "These Secessionist art prints, acquired by Frank Lloyd Wright and his lover Mamah Borthwick Cheney during their infamous flight to Europe in 1909–1910, reveal a new dimension of the architect’s taste and aesthetic preferences. This previously unknown and newly discovered group of prints from his personal art collection shows that around the turn of the twentieth century Wright had a surprising interest in European artists pursuing their own versions of modernism. Identified from careful archival research, the prints demonstrate how richly diffuse and multifaceted modernism was before the codification of a modernist canon. Wright, a revolutionary architect, preferred the work of Secessionists to that of the avant-garde of expressionism, cubism, and futurism. To Wright, the artists he selected were modern, and they appealed deeply to his interest in landscapes and graphic techniques of reproduction." (Dust jacket.) Original list price $40.00.

Title: Arts & Crafts From William Morris to Frank Lloyd Wright (Hard Cover) (Published by Palazzo Editions Ltd., London)

Author: Schwartzman, Arnold

Description: Publisher’s description: This is the second volume of Arnold Schwartzman’s trilogy on the architecture of the late 19th and early 20th Century, in which he focuses on a group of British craftsmen who decided to turn their backs on the mass production of the Industrial Revolution to form a ‘Round Table’ in order to establish a means of returning to hand-crafted products.
       William Morris, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and in America, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Greene and Greene were among these like-minded artisans who wished in essence to create a movement that embodied a vision and style that was a return to the Middle Ages.

Title: Arts & Crafts Homes And The Revival - Fall 2017 (Published by Cruz Bay Publishing, Inc., Boulder, Colorado)
Author: 1) Coleman, Brian D.; Photos by William Wright Author: 2) Eifler, John
   
Description: 1) “A Frank Lloyd Wright Rescue. Vacant And On The Market As A Teardown, The Ross Home In Glencoe, Illinois, Is Resurrected By Architect John Eifler.
       At The Start of the 20th century, wealthy Chicago attorney Sherman Booth bought a large tract of land in suburban Glencoe to build a substantial family home. He hired the Midwest's most well-known architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, but Wright's designs ran far over budget; only Booth's stables and servants' quarters were built. Seeking to recoup money already invested, Booth subdivided the property and named it Ravine Bluffs. Booth asked Wright to design smaller, less costly homes for the development, and by 1915 four had been built on spec. They were based on Wright's popular "Fireproof Home for $5,000" that had been published in The Ladies' Home Journal in 1905. This one, the Ross Home, was completed in 1916, one of the last built as the first World War halted new construction...” Includes ten photographs of the Ross House.
Description: 
2) “How to prepare for a sensitive Restoration. Restoring a house with cultural or architectural significance can be overwhelming: you're responsible for determining how history will be represented in the finished project. There's no formula, as each house is important for different reasons. One theme is consistent, though: the research must be done before the work. Do not "jump in" to a project without knowing when the house was built, who designed it, and for whom it was built. Furthermore, you should know exactly what is original and what revisions and additions were made over time. Only with this knowledge can you make informed decisions about restoration and improvement...” Includes one illustration and two photographs.

Little House (1912 - 1914), also called ‘Northome,’ designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Unlike rooms at other museums, this one is refreshingly open and inviting, without a stern velvet rope restricting one from entering. In this impressive room I met with the museums associate curator, Sarah McNear, who told me that the museum encourages it's visitors to use the library..."
