Overview
Frank Lloyd Wright's Wasmuth folios, one of the most important publications on modern architecture in the 20th century, is available once again from Rizzoli. First published in Germany in 1910, these 100 plates of Wright's early work had enormous influence on the architects of the time and will provide a valuable resource to historians and architects today.This facsimile edition includes the original selection of presentation and working drawings form the Oak Park period, the years perhaps most crucial to Wright's development. Also faithfully reproduced are the architect's own introduction and his comments on each project. A new foreword discusses the recently discovered historic background of these folios and Wright's intention to proffer them as a primer for a new democratic American architecture.
Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
In 1910, German architectural publisher Ernst Wasmuth issued a pair of folios covering the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Those folios proved to be very influential volumes indeed, and in the years since, they have come to be highly prized by collectors, scholars, and Wright aficionados. Now Rizzoli International has issued Studies and Executed Buildings, a reprint of the first of these folios, a selection of presentation and working drawings of both executed and unexecuted designs, complete with Wright's own introduction and comments on each project depicted in the folio.Book Details
