Title: Frank Lloyd Wright. Collection "Les Maitres de L'architecture Contemporaine", Publie Sous La Direction de Christian Zervos, Editions "Cahiers d'Art", 40, Rue Bonapart, Paris (V1o) (Collection "The Masters of the Contemporary Architecture", Volume 1) (Soft Cover) (Published under the Direction of Christian Zervos, Cahiers d'Art, Paris)

Author: Hitchcock, Henry Russel

Description: The first volume in the series on the masters of modern architecture. It includes an introduction by Hitchcock, photographs and a few floor plans of Wright's work completed between 1902 and 1923. Although the biography is only four pages, he provoked a response from Wright when he refereed to him as an old master, tied to the ornamentation of Sullivan, and Wright's concern for the picturesque. Hitchcock concluded, "He remains, it is time to say without reservation, the greatest architect and perhaps the greatest American of the early twentieth century." Two years later Wright would respond, "And I warn Henry right here and now, that having a good start, not only do I fully intend to be the greatest architect who has yet lived - but the greatest Architect who will ever live -." Forty-eight photographic and floor-plan plates include; Dana (2); Willets; Heurtley; Larkin; Frank Thomas (2); Unity Temple (2); Barton; Ross; Evans (2); Heath; Roberts; Robie; Steffens; Taliesin (5); Coonley (6); Bach; Midway Gardens (4); Imperial Hotel (5); Barnsdall (7); Millard (2). This book is the first of the Collection "The Masters of the Contemporary Architecture". Choice of documents by the architect Andre Lurcat.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by G. C. Sansoni, Florence, Italy. Published in English and Spanish in 1972.)

Author: Bardeschi, Marco Dezzi

Description: Published in Italian. Description from the 1972 English edition Dust Jacket: "In 1887, at the age of 18, Frank Lloyd Wright went to work as a draftsman in the Chicago offices of Adler in Sullivan, the outstanding architectural rebels of the day. While Sullivan wrestled with the problems of sky-scraper office blocks, his young assistant was allowed to deal with the lesser responsibility of designing private houses for the rich clients. Thus from the outside Wright was a stranger to industrial architecture and the problems of working class houses. Many of the clients were self-made man who wanted to escape from the towns which they - and Wright - saw as destructive machines. Wright was attracted by the idea of a free society of individuals and determined to found a new way of life for Americans through revolutionizing the one-family house... The extent of Wright's achievement is illustrated in this book by 38 black and white subjects and 40 pages of color." Text by Marco Dezzi Bardeschi, photographs by Liberto Perugi and Balthazar Korab.

Author: Bardeschi, Marco Dezzi; Translated by Fernando Hernandez

Description: Observation: Our first impression from the cover, was that this book was about Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright's Son. Text on the spine: Lloyd Wright. We quickly realized the publisher's misunderstanding. The title page has the same large block lettering as the cover, but reads "Frank Lloyd Wright." The balance of the book is a reprint of the Italian (1970) and English (1972) editions, but in Spanish. Published in Spanish.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright I: Public Buildings (Hard Cover - DJ)  (Published by Simon and Schuster, New York) 

Author: Pawley, Matrin; Photography by Futagawa, Yukio

Description: First published in Japanese in 1967. Dust jacket: "Frank Lloyd Wright's reputation rests largely on his houses designed for private clients, but as the author notes, 'Wright's lifelong adherence to the rugged individualism of the private did not....prevent him from concerning himself with the problems of society at large...'
       All of Wright's public buildings reveal the extent of the architect's pioneering techniques and ideas. In 1906, Wright had been among the first to make use of reinforced concrete (Unity Temple, Oak Park, Illinois), and in 1916-22 he designed the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, where the success of his deep-pile foundations and integrated concrete construction in resisting earthquake damage was later proved. More significant in a social sense were the Larkin Building, Buffalo, New York (1904) - a 'single-purposed social organism' concerned with the productive activity of a large number of collaborating employees - and the Johnson Company's administrative offices (1936-1939) at Racine, Wisconsin, of which Wright himself wrote: 'Organic architecture designed this great building to be as inspiring a place to work in as any cathedral ever was in which to worship.' At Racine too the later tower (1944-50) housing research laboratories reveals the practical application of a much earlier idea: the analogy with a tree, with a tap-root foundation, and the central trunk with cantilevered floors..." 74 plates, including 13 in color; 23 plans and sections. 68 photographs by Yukio Futagawa.

Title: Architectural Monographs No 18: Frank Lloyd Wright (Soft Cover) (First published in Great Britain in 1992 by Academy Editions, London. Published in the United States by St. Martin's Press, New York)

Author: Heinz, Thomas A.

Description: Heinz introduces aspects that have previously gone unnoticed. Concentrating primarily on residences, He examines construction techniques that are just as unorthodox as the architect himself, indicating that Wright's approach to detailing was pragmatic rather than conventional and was based on traditional common sense. Previously unpublished sketches on tracing paper provide a rare insight into Wright's design progression. (Publishers description.) Original HC List Price $55.00, SC List Price $45.00.

Title: Details of Frank Lloyd Wright, The California Work 1909-1974 (Hard Cover DJ)

Author: Dunham, Judith

Description: "Celebrated for his sensitive choice of materials, his innovative use of space, and his ability to merge architecture and the natural world, Frank Lloyd Wright was equally attentive to the structural and decorative details that give each of his buildings its distinctive character. His influence was profound in California, and his work there is a true reflection of this philosophy.

Scot Zimmerman's gorgeous full-color photographs and Judith Dunham's illuminating text lead readers room by room through each building, focusing on such features as entryways, furniture and cabinetry, woodwork and masonry, fenestration, fireplaces, terraces and landscaping. Organized chronologically, the book represents virtually every important period and type of building in Wright's career from textile-block houses and civic buildings to church and commercial buildings to residences, including the Morris Gift Shop and the Marin County Civic Center..."

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright. Maitre de l'architecture americaine (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Abbeville Press, New York, London, Paris)

Author: Smith, Kathryn

Description: A French edition, and exact version of the English edition published in 1998. "Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is unquestionably America's most celebrated architect. Even today, almost forty years after his death, he continues to tower over the architectural landscape. In fact, his career was so long and his accomplishments so varied it can be difficult still to grasp the full range of Wrights achievement. In this refreshing new study, Wright scholar Kathryn Smith does just that, exploring the grace and beauty found in all facets of Wright's work: from office desks and chairs to his first residential commissions, from magazine cover designs to major public buildings. The concise text and brilliant color photographs chart Wright's entire career, beginning with his apprenticeship to Adler and Sullivan before the turn of the century. Readers witness the Prairie period, Wright's years in Japan and California, his major designs of the late 1920s and 1930s, his Usonian houses, and the monumental late works of his last decades..."

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright: The Interactive Portfolio  (Hard Cover - Boxed)  (Published by Running Press, Philadelphia, London)

Author: Stipe, Margo

Description: "Fortunately for the many admirers of his architecture, theories, and designs, Frank Lloyd Wright was not only a lover of space and a man of vision - he was also a man who liked to save things. Since he opened his first office in Chicago in 1893, Wright held on to drawings, sketches, notes, photographs, manuscripts, and correspondence. Many of those artifacts survive today in his official archive at Taliesin West in Arizona. Produced in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, this extraordinary book offers a fresh presentation of the documents of one of the world's most famous architects. It is, in effect, a museum in a book. The unique book "experience" contains 25 interactive, three-dimensional features, removable facsimiles of original documents, never-before-published architectural sketches, and an audio CD containing excerpts from Wright's weekly addresses at his architectural compound, as well as television interviews. Following the proven success of other Wright titles, this is an engaging journey into the life and work of the iconic American architect through words, pictures, and artifacts."

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Houses  (Hard Cover)  (Published by Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., New York)

Author: Hess, Alan; Contributions by Smith, Kathryn; Photographs by Alan Weintraub.

Description: With the advent of Prairie style architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright embarked on a journey that would forever change the course of architecture. During this extraordinarily prolific period, roughly the first quarter of the twentieth century, Wright built the first great modern American houses. He cast aside many of the conventions of the past, opening up interior spaces so that there might be a more subtle flow of rooms. The plans for Prairie style architecture were based on a tartan plaid of main spaces and secondary spaces, of public rooms and circulation spaces. Their decentralized asymmetry did not follow the Beaux Arts insistence on a primary, often dominating, focal point - a vestige of its roots as a symbolic architecture for divine-right royalty. Focusing on interiors and details, the book features more than 70 Prairie style houses and other buildings. (Publisher's description.) Original cover price $50.00. Three copies. (First Edition)

With a variety of shapes and forms-ranging from honeycombs to spirals-this period is an important contribution to mid-century modernism.

Across his work-which stands upon a philosophy Wright termed "organic" widespread evidence is seen of a refined sensitivity to environment, to social
organization as impacted by buildings, and to sustainable and sensible use of space. The desire to work and live with nature to create livable homes and cities is an ongoing theme of American architecture and planning. This book explores Wright's lessons on how climate, sustainability, sunlight, modern technology, local materials, and passive environmental controls can become the inspiration for excellent design, and highlights a selection of Wright's buildings to show how he dealt with these issues. The book is organized by the green concepts Wright used-including passive solar design and the use of thermal massing, passive berm insulation, environmentally sensitive landscaping, passive ventilation systems, passive natural light, and intelligent and artful adaptation of technology-with examples from different houses. It shows how Wright evolved certain ideas that continue to spur discussions of green architecture design today. (Publishers description.) Original list price $55.00. (First Edition)

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright, Complete Works 1885-1916 (Hard Cover, Boxed) (Published by Taschen GmbH, Hohenzollernring, Koln)

Author: Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks; Editor: Gossel, Peter

Description: Volume 1 covers the early Chicago years and the Prairie Houses, the period which provoked a profound influence on European architects. Wright's architectural work during these early years was mostly residential, as it would be throughout his career, and from his earliest work, Frank Lloyd Wright demonstrated a knowledge of and respect for natural materials. In the ten years between 1896 and 1906 he developed and perfected the so-called "prairie house." Wright believed the architect should have complete charge of architectural design, and for him this meant interior furnishings as well as exterior landscape. The 1908 Avery Coonley residence, the administration building for the Larkin Soap Company (1903-1905), and the Unity Temple (1905) are examples of major works from the period.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright, Complete Works 1917-1942 (Hard Cover, Boxed) (Published by Taschen GmbH, Hohenzollernring, Koln)

Author: Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks; Editor: Gossel, Peter

Description: This second volume deals with the work after World War I, beginning with the Imperial Hotel, covering Wright's quest to design affordable houses to Fallingwater being the dramatic climax. From 1917 through the Depression, up until 1942, he designed continually. Wright saw many projects go unrealized, but built on new concepts. His block building system led to the famous Ennis house in Los Angeles. In 1936 he completed the Herbert Jacobs house, using his new "Usonian" techniques. He moved to Arizona at the age of 71 and started building Taliesin West. The Johnson Administration Building opened to great fanfare, nationwide publicity, and lines around the block waiting to tour inside. Despite adversity, Wright emerged from this era with reputation restored and vitality renewed, as manifested in Fallingwater and the Johnson building, while his Usonian homes began to alter the way Americans lived.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright (Hard Cover) (Published by Taschen GmbH, Hohenzollernring, Koln)

Author: Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks; Editor: Gossel, Peter

Description: Condensed version of three volume set. Publisher's description: A building by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is at once unmistakably individual, and evocative of an entire era. Notable for their exceptional understanding of an organic environment, as well as for their use of steel and glass to revolutionize the interface of indoor and outdoor, Wright's designs helped announce the age of modernity, as much as they secured his own name in the annals of architectural genius. This meticulous compilation from Taschen's previous three-volume monograph assembles the most important works from Wright's extensive, paradigm-shifting oeuvre into one authoritative and accessibly priced overview of America's most famous architect. Based on unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, the collection spans the length and breadth of Wright's projects, both realized and unrealized, from his early Prairie Houses, through the Usonian concept home, epitomized by Fallingwater, the Tokyo years, his progressive "living architecture" buildings, right through to later schemes like the Guggenheim Museum, New York, and fantastic visions for a better tomorrow in the "living city."

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright, The Heroic Years: 1920 - 1932 (Hard Cover, DJ) (Published by Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., New York)

Author: Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks

Description: Frank Lloyd Wright's wife, Olgivanna, is famously quoted as saying that "My husband seemed to thrive on hardships." From the years 1920 to 1932 Wright's fortunes were at a low ebb; he was plagued by financial, personal, and professional setbacks, but saw the time as one of challenges instead of one of defeat. Unable to find patrons, his imagination led to visionary, often splendid, architectural conceptions that laid the groundwork for the revolutionary architecture he would build in the decades to follow. During this period he designed almost fifty projects, of which only a few were realized, but those few are seen today as among his most important creations. Rare and unseen photos as well as little-known drawings from this period are on lavish display in this important work on the master architect. (Publisher's description.) Original list price $60.00.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright: 50 Key Buildings By America's Greatest Architect (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Quercus Publishing Plc., London. First published in 2009. This new edition published in 2010.)

Author: Wilkinson, Philip

Description: Frank Lloyd Wright has a strong claim to be North America's greatest architect. By the time he died, American architecture had been transformed and a new, distinctive kind of building had evolved that reflected the needs of people living in the cities and in The open spaces of the US. Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most important creators of this new architecture, as well as the designer of some of America's most beautiful and memorable buildings. Wright's undoubted genius lay in his ability to think an idea through from basic principles. His concept of organic architecture started with the essential requirements of the building and the nature of the site. He thought outwards from these key tenets so that each building's facade and interiors, and even the furnishings, derived from them. This innovative approach inspired a new, uniquely American kind of architecture and left a legacy that is one of the greatest of any architect. Wright designed over 500 buildings of which some 400 still survive... (Dust Jacket) Original list price 40.00 (Approximately $60.00 US) 12 x 14.5 (First Edition)

Author: Wilson, Mark Anthony; Photography by Joel Puliatti

Description: Dust jacket: "Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings on the West Coast have not been thoroughly covered in print until now.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright The Rooms (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., New York)

Author: Photography: Weintraub, Alan; Text: Stipe, Margo

Description: Frank Lloyd Wright: The Rooms presents the warm interior spaces and exceptional design work of this beloved American master. Wright was an early proponent of "total design." Unsatisfied with what was available in designing a given space or home, he invented what was needed, developing a language of architectural detail and styling that is unique and which extended to the tables, bookcases, easy chairs, sofas, and cabinets; to rugs and murals; to stonework; to stained glass "light screens," which served as windows, doors, and room partitions; and lighting. This approach was manifested distinctly in each of his residential projects.
       This book offers the reader an immersion into this work by means of extraordinary artful detail in intimately explored rooms and spaces. From the Oak Park Home and Studio in Illinois to the majestically appointed Darwin D. Martin House with its abundance of art glass, including Wright's famous "Tree of Life" and "Wisteria" designs, this luxurious volume ranges over the whole of Wright's oeuvre. It highlights a number of Wright masterpieces, including Hollyhock House, the mysterious Aztec-like home and arts complex built on a hill in Los Angeles; the Dana House, with its luminous "butterfly" transom glass; and the fabled living room at Fallingwater.

Title: The Bootleg Homes of Frank Lloyd Wright, His Clandestine Work Revealed. (Soft Cover) (Published by The History Press, Charleston, SC)

Author: Hartnett, Robert J.

Description: Back Cover: The Secret Chicago Laboratory of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style. Before Frank Lloyd Wright officially launched America's most famous architectural career, he was designing the building blocks of his legendary Prairie style  on the side. In violation of his contract with his employers, Adler and Sullivan, Wright moonlighted as an independent architect from his Oak Park studio. From 1892 through the spring of 1893, he experimented with the elements that would become his signature in houses in Chicago, La Grange and Oak Park. The full roster of these "bootleg homes" has remained a matter of mystery and debate. Robert Hartnett seeks to provide the first definitive account of the hidden artifacts of Wright's storied legacy. Gift from the Author. (First Edition)
