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 Previously unpublished sketches on tracing paper provide a rare insight into Wright's design progression.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.

Date: 2006 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)

Description: The mid-twentieth century was one of the most productive and inventive periods in Wright's career, producing such masterworks as the Guggenheim Museum, Price Tower, Fallingwater, the Usonian houses, and the Loveness House, as well as a vast array of innovative furniture and object design. With a variety of shapes and forms-ranging from honeycombs to spirals-this period is an important contribution to mid-century modernism. Mentoring such talents as Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler among others, Wright was one of the most influential proponents of the simplicity, democratic designs, and organic forms that characterize Mid-Century Modern.

Description: Fifty years after Wright’s death, he is widely hailed as a genius who has exerted more influence on design than any other twentieth century architect.

Date: 2011 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.

Date: 2010 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.

Author: Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks; Editor: Gossel, Peter
Description: Part of an exhaustive three-volume monograph featuring all of Wright's 1,100 designs, both realized and unrealized. This volume covers the postwar years and the "living architecture" period. This volume starts in 1943, when Wright’s organic "living architecture" introduced ideas for the use of solar energy and curved open spaces. In addition to many private projects and the Guggenheim museum, the period up to 1959 includes Wright's astonishing plans for a new Baghdad, his only realized high-rise tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, the crystal figure of the Beth Sholom Synagogue in Pennsylvania, and plans for an endless row of houses with floor plans based on hexagons. Text in English, German and French. (Publisher’s description.) Six items from our collection were published in this volume. Original cover price $200.00. Gift from Taschen. To order. (First Edition)

Date: 2009 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.

Description: Wright Panorama amplifies the artistry of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture with expanse. In the more than 140 Tom Schiff panoramic photographs, Schiff reveals nearly eighty extant buildings in Wright's oeuvre from a unique perspective. Wright Panorama exhibits the great architect's prolific, varied, and iconic body of work, pulling from it a new shape and offering it renewed appeal. Eric Lloyd Wright's compelling foreword to Wright Panorama introduces Tom Schiff and four noteworthy Wright scholars. Since Wright's architecture embraced his strong belief in and respect for Nature, these scholars draw from this and contribute essays from a new nature-centric perspective. (Publisher’s description.)
